Romania at the Eurovision Song Contest
Romania made their official debut at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 with Dan Bittman and the song Dicolo Di Nori. Placing 21st meant that they had to miss the next contest and in 1996 they also failed to qualify.
Romania really began to hit the big league in 2005 when they placed third with Let Me Try by Luminița Anghel and Sistem, and then the following year they placed fourth with the song Tornero by Mihai.
A further third placing happened in 2010 with Playing With Fire by Paula Seling and Ovi. In 2018 and 2019 Romania failed to qualify to the final for the first time in history.
