Slovenia debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993 represented by 1x Band and their song 'Tih Deževen Dan' (‘Quiet Rainy Day’).

Their joint best result is 7th, achieved by ​Darja Švajger in 1995 and Nuša Derenda in 2001.

Though they’ve yet to host a Eurovision Song Contest, broadcaster Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO) was tasked with organising the 1993 pre-Contest qualification competition Kvalifikacija za Millstreet (‘Qualification for Millstreet’), which saw qualification success for Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia, and disappointment for Slovakia, Estonia, Hungary and Romania.

Slovenia is also the most successful country when it comes to Eurovision Choir, having won the inaugural competition in 2017, before finishing third in 2019.
