Belarus in Eurovision Song Contest
Belarus haven't had the greatest success in Eurovision history. They have participated every year since 2004, but only qualified for the Grand Final six times.
Their best result is a 6th place with the 2007-entry Work Your Magic performed by Dmitry Koldun. This is their only Top-15 position in Eurovision.
