St Olaf is yet to participate in the Internatia Song Contest. The country does however vote and broadcast since its 24th edition. It also appeared briefly as the Republic of St. Olaf at the 10th edition of the contest.
St Olaf uses an unprecedented voting system when voting in local and international competitions. A jury consisting of 10 members (5 of each gender and within the age ranges of 16-25, 26-35, 36-45, 46-55 and 55+) vote based on a ranking system. Their rankings are converted to an average rank per song and counts as 50% of the final vote. Viewers of competitions get to vote using a mobile app on the national equivalent of iPhone and Android. They can also vote using the digital interactive television module Owal, which was introduced early 2014. Using these platforms they can 'like' the songs after they are performed. The final tally in 'likes' makes up the other 50% of the national vote and is also converted into a ranking. The same system is set to go into use at the Gafloofen Song Festival.
The Internatia Song Contest is broadcast in St Olaf by JHTV, which also broadcasts the Gafloofen Song Festival. It is rumoured that this song competition may be used to select the country's entry for ISC in the future.
