Lithuania at Eurovision
Lithuania made their debut at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994, with Ovidijus Vyšniauskas and his song “Lopšinė mylimai” finishing in 25th and last place with zero points. However, 12 years later they would achieve their best result through arguably their most infamous Eurovision entry; LT United with “We Are The Winners“. While they didn’t quite live up to the song title, they finished in a very good 6th place.
Lithuania have qualified for the grand final the last three contests, with Monika Linkytė and her song “Stay” finishing in 11th place in Liverpool last year.
