Gandhara has participated in every Outernatia Song Contest since its debut at the first contest with the song "Libertango", performed by Hiba Tawaji in the Arabic language . Gandhara is only one of the three countries that participated in every edition of the contest, the others being Auspikitan and Lettuce .
Gandhara won the 7th edition of the contest with the song "Aman", performed by Myriam Fares . Due to Fares' win, Gandhara hosted the Outernatia Song Contest 9 in the Minna Theater in the capital city of Rhea . Since the introduction of semi-finals, Gandhara didn't qualify for the final on two occasions. When the semi-finals were introduced during the 13th edition , the group Zaed Naes came last in the first semi-final with their song "Shattiet". The girl group Gülyaru finished 10th with their Uyghur song "Shirinjan" during the second semi-final of the 16th edition , missing the final by 8 points. During the final of the Outernatia Song Contest 15 , Mähri Pirgulyýewa received 104 points and a fourth-place finish with her Turkmen song "Aýterek Günterek". It was the country's best result since Myriam Fares' win and the first time Gandhara scored over 100 points.
