'''[[Gandhara]]''' has participated in every '''[[Outernatia Song Contest]]''' since its debut at the [[Outernatia Song Contest 1|first contest]] with the song "Libertango", performed by [[Wikipedia:Hiba_Tawaji|Hiba Tawaji]] in the [[Wikipedia:Arabic|Arabic language]]. The country has won twice, in the [[Outernatia Song Contest 7|7th edition]], with the song "Aman" by [[Wikipedia:Myriam Fares|Myriam Fares]], and in the [[Outernatia Song Contest 27|27th edition]], with the song "[[Wikipedia:Alive (Dami Im song)|Alive]]" by [[Wikipedia:Dami Im|Dami Im]]. Gandhara is the only country that participated in every edition of the contest.

The first fourteen entries have been performed in the Arabic language. For the [[Outernatia Song Contest 15|15th edition of the contest]], the Gandhari public broadcaster [[Radio and Television of Gandhara]] abandoned the rule that songs must be performed in Arabic, and Mähri Pirgulyýewa got the right to represent Gandhara with her [[Wikipedia:Turkmen_language|Turkmen]] song "Aýterek Günterek". During the final, Mähri Pirgulyýewa received 104 points and a fourth-place finish. It was the country's best result at the time, since Myriam Fares' win in the 7th edition, and the first time Gandhara scored over 100 points. 

Gandhara finished as [[Wikipedia:Runner-up|runner-up]] on four occasions: in the [[Outernatia Song Contest 24|24th edition]], with the song "Snowstorm" by [[Wikipedia:Jess Lee (Malaysian singer)|Jess Lee]], in the [[Outernatia Song Contest 54|54th edition]], with the song "Tugan el" by Moldir Auyelbekova, in the [[Outernatia Song Contest 64|64th edition]], with the song "[[Wikipedia:C'est la vie (Khaled song)|C'est La Vie]]" by [[Wikipedia:Khaled (musician)|Khaled]], and in the [[Outernatia Song Contest 67|67th edition]], with the song "[[Wikipedia:Remember (Gryffin and Zohara song)|Remember]]" by [[Wikipedia:Gryffin|Gryffin]] & [[Wikipedia:Zohara|Zohara]].
