Eurovision Song Contest Wiki

Belarus debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in Istanbul, the same year the semi-finals were introduced (and just one year after debuting in the first Junior Eurovision Song Contest). They had attempted to participate in every contest since their debut, managing to qualify for the final 6 times in 16 attempts.

The country has just one top 10 finish, thanks to Dmitry Koldun who finished in 6th place in 2007 with the song Work Your Magic. Most of the time when failing to qualify, Belarus have placed 12th or 13th - just a bit short of qualifying.

Belarus, like Azerbaijan, has mostly been known to perform their songs in English. However, in 2017 the country sent a song for the first time sung entirely in the Belarusian language.

As of 1 July 2021, following the crackdown on artistic and media freedom in Belarus from the country's political regime, the resignation in protest of several staff members including ESC commentator Eugene Perlin, the snubbing of its intended 2020 act and its disqualification from the 2021 contest, BTRC's EBU membership was suspended from 2021 to 2024, meaning that the country would not be allowed to participate.
