St Olaf chose the singer Cocovan as their first representative on 30 June 2014 amidst uncertainty whether the country would be allowed to partake in the 25th contest, which was held in Lashkent, Leshia. Rumours stated Cocovan signed a two-edition deal in order to be assured of debuting the nation in ISC, yet this was confirmed not to be the case come ISC 26. St Olaf's bid was deemed ineligible shortly after the announcement was made. St Olaf was later confirmed for the 26th edition, 'debuting' with singer Luca Vasta and the song "Sometimes You're Right". St Olaf held its first national final on 30 August 2014.
The Internatia Song Contest will be broadcast in St Olaf by JHTV until ISC 30, also broadcasting the Junior Internatia Song Contest. OBC, a regional channel for Minnesota, is set to take over from ISC 30 on.
