Romania In The Eurovision Song Contest
Romania has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 14 times, debuting in the 1994 contest, with their best position being 3rd, achieving this at the 2005 and 2010 contests.
Since the introduction of the semi-finals, Romania is along with Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia and Ukraine, one of the five countries left that has never missed a final. Azerbaijan has as well never missed a final, but because they debuted after the semi-final introduction, they are not counted as one of these countries.

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or contest:
“By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summon’d am to a tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wide world’s end:
Methinks it is no journey.”
—Unknown. Tom o’ Bedlam’s Song (l. 57–60)
“Another danger is imminent: A contested result. And we have no such means for its decision as ought to be provided by law. This must be attended to hereafter.... If a contest comes now it may lead to a conflict of arms. I can only try to do my duty to my countrymen in that case. I shall let no personal ambition turn me from the path of duty. Bloodshed and civil war must be averted if possible. If forced to fight, I have no fears from lack of courage or firmness.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
