Tikatas's first Internatia appearance was in 2nd edition in Zinzolin, Spirevo when they came 12th. Prior to Tikata's win in ISC 13 theire best placing was 4th in ISC 3 and ISC 9. Tikata finished in Top 10 seven times in 12 participations, Tikata is also one of four countries that always qualify to final of ISC since it implementation (other being Kosma, Sunetti and Symphony Isles).

Five cities have been considered as host city of the contest, including three state capitals: Surme, Tramandi and Zixan. The Surme Arena, Which hosted Internatia Second Chance Contest 1 was the first venue to join the bidding phase. Surmian bid is supported by neighbor City of Grusse.

On 4 August 2013 City Council of Royal City of Madakia, capital of Tikata, rejected a proposed bid. Madakian mayor, Oscar Pande praised the decision and described Internatia Song Contest as "unimportant and too expensive event". Decision was criticized by national politicians, Prime Minister of Tikata called it "a pure political decision". According to recent poll, 77% of Madakians supported the idea of bid.

Tikatan Minister of Culture confirmed on 3 August 2013 that RTRT and future host city will have full support of government, and that national broadcaster will receive additional funding.
