Shy'm and her song 'Prendre L'Air' was chosen as the representative to compete in Tikata. As she had previously come second in both editions of AonachFest, RTVRA saw her as a popular and indeed enthusiastic choice to compete on the Internatia stage. She qualified to the final from the first semi-final, winning the semi-final with 108 points. However, this was not to be repeated in the final, where Aonach finished in 9th place, with 116 points, their 2nd top 10 placing.

Aonach in the Internatia Song Contest 17

Due to the underwhelming results achieved by the contestants who won the three editions of AonachFest, RTVRA decided to give the contest a break for a few editions, and select internally. Tone Damli was selected to represent that nation in Yazminia, with the ballad 'Winner Of A Losing Game'. She was drawn to participate in the second semi-final, which will be the first time Aonach competes outside the first semi-final.
