Belarus was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 16 times, making its debut in Template:Escyr and having its last appearance in Template:Escyr. The Belarusian participating broadcaster in the contest was the Belarusian Television and Radio Company (BTRC). Since 1 July 2021, Belarus has been unable to participate in the contest following the suspension of BTRC's membership in the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).[1] The country's first appearance in a final was in Template:Escyr, with the song "Work Your Magic" performed by Dmitry Koldun, where it placed sixth; this remains Belarus' only top ten placement. Belarus also qualified for the final in Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr, and Template:Escyr. More recently, the nation had planned to take part in the cancelled Template:Escyr contest and was disqualified from taking part in the Template:Escyr contest.

History

The Belarusian Television and Radio Company (BTRC) was a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 1 January 1993, thus eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest since then. It participated in the contest representing Belarus since its Template:Escyr in 2004.

Belarus entered the contest in the same year that semi-finals began to be used to determine who would compete in the final. Belarus has qualified for the final six times: in Template:ESCYr with "Work Your Magic", in Template:ESCYr with "Butterflies", in Template:ESCYr with "Solayoh", in Template:ESCYr with "Cheesecake", in Template:ESCYr with "Story of My Life", and in Template:ESCYr with "Like It".

Alexander Rybak, the winner of the Template:Escyr contest representing Template:Esccnty, expressed an interest in composing an entry for his birth country Belarus.[2] Rybak's song "Accent", performed by Milki, competed in the Belarusian national final for the Template:Escyr contest,[3] placing fourth.

Belarus originally planned to participate in the Template:Escyr contest, and were set to perform in the first half of the first semi-final. On 9 March 2021, Galasy ZMesta was announced as the chosen entrant with the song "Ya nauchu tebya (I'll Teach You)".[4] However, the entry was disqualified on 11 March, as it was decided by the EBU that the song was in violation of the contest's rules. Belarusian broadcaster BTRC was ordered to submit either a new version of the song or an entirely new song that is compliant with the rules, or face disqualification.[5] On 26 March, BTRC submitted the song "Pesnya pro zaytsev (Song about hares)" (Template:Langx), also sung by Galasy ZMesta, as Belarus' new entry, however that song was also disqualified, again for the same reasons as their previous attempt, and Belarus was subsequently disqualified from the 2021 contest altogether.[6][7]

On 28 May 2021, six days after the 2021 final, the EBU voted to suspend BTRC's membership. BTRC was given two weeks to respond before the suspension came into effect on 11 June, but there was no public response.[1] The broadcaster was expelled from the EBU on 1 July, therefore losing the rights to broadcast and participate in the contest.[8] It was subsequently stated that the expulsion would last for three years,[9] however, in late April 2024 (one month before the expiration), the EBU declared that there was "no reason to change Template:Om position at the current time", thus making the suspension indefinite.[10]
