    Latvia in Eurovision 

    Latvia participated in Eurovision first time back in 2000. The country on its debut participation, with Brainstorm finished in 3rd place with the song My Star. It didn’t take long for Latvia to win the contest, since in  2002, with Marie N’s I Wanna the Baltic country was crowned winner.

    Latvia only participated in 2002 thanks to the withdrawal of Portugal from the contest, as Latvia’s poor result in 2001 had relegated them from the 2002 contest. From 2009 to 2014 Latvia met disappointing results as it failed to qualify to the Grand final. In 2015 achieved its best results the latest year with Animata and her Love Injected which ended in 6th place. 

    In 2024 the country was represented by Dons with the song 'Hollow' which finished 16th in the Grand final which was the best result for the Baltic country after six editions of non-qualifying results.
