Estonia made their debut in 1994, having waited an extra year because they weren’t one of the successful countries in the 1993 pre-Contest qualification round 'Kvalifikacija za Millstreet' (‘Qualification for Millstreet’).

Silvi Vrait was the first Estonian singer to represent her country, though the song Nagu Merelaine (‘Like A Seawave’) failed to make a splash with juries, finishing 24th in a field of 25.

In 2001, Estonia became the first former Eastern Bloc country to win the Eurovision Song Contest thanks to Tanel Padar, Dave Benton, 2XL and their party anthem Everybody.

Aruban-born Dave Benton also made history as the first Black participant to win the Contest.
