Irdminia made its debut at the Internatia Song Contest at ISC 7 in Lördsberg, San Monique and haven't missed any edition since then. Despite rather bad results, public interest is still high and the country is one of the most active one in terms of creating NF's and making an impact in regional press. After many unsuccesful attempts, Irdminia withdrew permanently from ISC after 45th edition, but decided to return to the Waiting List many months later and eventually came back to ISC at 86th edition.

History of Irdminia at the Interatia Song Contest

Internatia Song Contest 7-15

Internatia Song Contest 16-19

Following a series of rather mediocre results since it's debut and non-qualification of some of the biggest stars in the country, Irdminian broadcaster decided to create a special group of musicians and journalists to decide it's next entries and possible national finals. It paid off quickly, as Delerium - the representatives on the ISC 16 in Anselmsuusonia scored a great 7th place. The next group, Delain, scored even better, achieving a 6th place in the next edition held in Yazminia. However, the biggest success of a country came in the ISC 18 in Kosma, when early fan favourites to win - Sinine together with Sandra Nurmsalu performing the song "Sel Teel" - scored the 2nd place, loosing after a very tight race only to the winner, Kaledonii. After that, another top 10 result was achieved, this time in Pebbleland by Lilit Hovhannisyan. Now, because of the four top 10 results in a row, the interest about ISC in the country is massive again, even bigger than before.

Internatia Song Contest 20-24

After a non-qualification of LaFee in Kaledonii and a rather poor result achieved by Akira Yamaoka in Monteverde another strike of amazing results came. That includes two 4th places by "Nouveau Parfum" performed by Boggie in Beige and "Faster" by Within Temptation in Alexandria acquired in ISC 22 and ISC 23 consecutively. However a top 3 result was achieved by Oonagh with her song "Orome" in ISC 24 in Territrius, which scored 3rd place with 159, being second best result in the contest and the biggest amount of points received by Irdminia.

Internatia Song Contest 25-29

However, another line of bad and mediocre results came after that, as in ISC 25 held in Leshia, Kathleen Reiter with her ballad "Colourful" scored only 19th in the final and the next edition held in Chruno, a national star Ewelina Lisowska failed to qualify and actually scored the worst place to that date for Irdminia. This resulted in a dramatically low number of voters in a final, which was the main reason of not submitting Irdminian televotes in the ISC 26 grand final, but instead of that, points from the national jury were awarded. Next edition, Rocío Rivas qualified for the final in Pen Island and scored a decent 16th place. Probably the biggest dissapointment came in the 28th edition, when band maNga got 73 points and ended up on 24th place in the final, which is the worst final place Irdminia ever got - causing many discussions about potential Irdminian participation in the future. Even more opinions about Irdminian existence in the contest came out after achieving it's worst results ever at the ISC 29 in Kosma where Chylińsa with her song "Winna" scored only 30 points and came 2nd last in semi-final.
