Estonia has entered the Eurovision Song Contest since 1993. On its first attempt, in 1993, it failed to qualify for the final, coming 5th in the Eastern-European semifinal in Ljubljana (Slovenia). From 1996 through to 2002, Estonia consistently qualified for the final and placed well. In 2001, Tanel Padar and Dave Benton's "Everybody" won the contest. This was the first time any of the former Soviet countries has won the contest.

As a result of this win, Estonia hosted the Contest in 2002, in the Saku Suurhall in their capital Tallinn. The years thereafter were less successful; since a semifinal was introduced in 2004 Estonia has never progressed beyond it.
