Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest
Malta first participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1971 with Joe Grech and his song, โMarija I-Malitjaโ, which finished in last place with 52 points. They also finished last on their second attempt in the contest in 1972. After a third appearance in 1975, Malta withdrew from the contest until 1991, when they returned and finished in sixth place with 106 points.
Since their return in 1991, Malta has finished in the top three on four occasions โ Mary Spiteri with โLittle Childโ in 1992 and Chiara with โThe One That I Loveโ in 1998 which both finished in third place, and also Ira Losco with โ7th Wonderโ in 2002 and Chiara with โAngelโ in 2005, which both finished in second place. Malta has not yet won the contest, however.
In 2020, Malta selected Junior Eurovision 2015 winner Destiny, after she won the second season of X Factor Malta.
