Lithuania in the Eurovision Song Contest
Lithuania has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 24 times since its debut in 1994, where "Lopšinė mylimai" performed by Ovidijus Vyšniauskas finished last, receiving "nul points".However, since the introduction of the semi-final round in 2004, Lithuania has the second most final appearances in comparison to other Baltic nations, with seventeen, compared to nineteen for Estonia and eleven for Latvia.Lietuvos nacionalinis radijas ir televizija (LRT) is a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 1 January 1993, thus eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest since then.The following year, the Lithuanian broadcaster Lietuvos nacionalinis radijas ir televizija (LRT) sent LT United to the 2006 contest with the football chant-like song "We Are the Winners".The following year Lithuania automatically qualified for the final; however, 4Fun could not replicate LT United's success, coming 21st with only 28 points, 12 of which came from Ireland.[1] Culture Minister Jonas Jučas stated that it was too early to discuss the boycott since "spontaneous decisions might aggravate the efforts of diplomats" and thus make the situation worse.[8] In 2016, Donny Montell returned to the contest and achieved Lithuania's best result of the decade, finishing ninth with "I've Been Waiting for This Night".The delegation, whose size can greatly vary, includes a head of press, the contestants, songwriters, composers, and backing vocalists, among others.[23] Each participating broadcaster assembles a five-member jury panel consisting of music industry professionals for the semi-finals and Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest, ranking all entries except for their own.
