At Outernatia

All countries, except the host country, were required to qualify from two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; from each semi-final the top nine countries progressed to the final, and a tenth was determined by the International Jury. On 7 January 2016, an allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals. Lettuce was placed into the Second Semi-final, to be held on 8 January 2016.

In the Second Semi-final, Tamila performed 11th in the running order, following Trešlend and preceding Polland. At the close of the voting "Zolim" had received 44 points from 7 countries, placing Lettuce 12th of 17 competing countries. However, the International Jury ranked "Zolim" first, and thus the song qualified for the final.

In the final, Tamila performed 20th in the running order, following Alteus and preceding Kimmystan. At the close of the voting "Zolim" had received 76 points from 13 countries, placing Lettuce 18th of 21 competing countries.
