Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest

Estonia first entered the Contest in 1994. The early years were particularly successful and led to the victory in 2001, when Tanel Padar, Dave Benton & 2XL performed their entry “Everybody”.

In 2021 Estonia was represented by Uku Suviste, who performed “The Lucky One”. Earlier he won Eesti Laul 2020 with his song “What Love Is”, however, unfortunately, the contest was cancelled due to the pandemic. Uku wasn’t selected internally for 2021 but got a place to compete in Eesti Laul 2021 instead and won it again.
