Belarus was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 16 times, making its debut in 2004 and having its last appearance in 2019. The Belarusian participating broadcaster in the contest was the Belarusian Television and Radio Company (BTRC). Since 1 July 2021, Belarus has been unable to participate in the contest following the suspension of BTRC's membership in the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).^[1] The country's first appearance in a final was in 2007, with the song "Work Your Magic" performed by Dmitry Koldun, where it placed sixth; this remains Belarus' only top ten placement. Belarus also qualified for the final in 2010, 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2019. More recently, the nation had planned to take part in the cancelled 2020 contest and was disqualified from taking part in the 2021 contest.
