The Slovakians entered the Contest on three occasions during the 1990s, with their best result courtesy of Marcel Palonder and their 1996 ballad Kým Nás Máš (‘While You Have Us’) which finished 18th.
The country withdrew after the 1998 show but returned for a run of four consecutive appearances between 2009 and 2012, failing to qualify for the Grand Final on each occasion. They were last represented by rock singer Max Jason Mai at the Contest in Baku.
Slovakia has also participated in Eurovision Young Musicians and Eurovision Young Dancers.
