'''[[Andorra]]''' has participated in the [[Eurovision Song Contest]] five times, debuting in [[2004]] (see [[Eurovision Song Contest 2004|ESC2004]]). Interest in the contest has been large for a long time, despite the local Andorran broadcaster not showing the contest until recent years (citizens could watch it on [[Spain|Spanish]] and [[France|French]] stations, though). The majority of the songs were sung in [[Catalan language|Catalan]]. Despite the homeland interest in the competition, Andorra has never qualified for the final. In 2007, a qualification for the final was predicted, but with a 12th place they just missed out.

== Selection Procedures ==
In the past Andorra did hold a large [[reality show]] contest to select their entries. Since [[Eurovision Song Contest 2006|2006]] Andorran broadcaster [[Ràdio i Televisió d'Andorra|RTVA]] has had a private selection process to select the Andorran Entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.
