The tiny island nation has come close to winning on several occasions, including when Mary Spiteri finished third with Little Child in 1992, and the time Ira Losco’s 7th Wonder took the runner-up spot in 2002.
The most successful Maltese artist is Chiara who placed 3rd in 1998 with The One That I Love and 2nd in 2005 with Angel, as well as finishing 22nd in 2009 with the ballad What If We.
While Malta has yet to win the Eurovision Song Contest, they have had lots of success in Junior Eurovision, winning on two occasions thanks to Gaia Cauchi in 2013, and Destiny Chukunyere in 2015 who would go on to represent Malta in the senior Contest in both 2020 and 2021.
