Hungary has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 17 times since making its debut in Шаблон:Escyr. Hungary attempted to participate in Шаблон:Escyr but failed to qualify from Kvalifikacija za Millstreet, a special qualifying competition set up for seven former Eastern Bloc countries.
Hungary's first contest in 1994 remains its most successful, with Friderika Bayer finishing in fourth place. The country's only other top five result is a fifth-place finish by András Kállay-Saunders in Шаблон:Escyr. Other top ten results are Magdi Rúzsa finishing ninth in Шаблон:Escyr, ByeAlex tenth in Шаблон:Escyr, and Joci Pápai eighth in Шаблон:Escyr, giving Hungary a total of five top ten placements.
History
Hungary's first entry in the Eurovision Song Contest would have been "Árva reggel", performed by Andrea Szulák, in Шаблон:Escyr, but a qualification round was held for former Eastern Bloc countries, and the song did not manage to qualify to the final. The first official Hungarian participation was with "Kinek mondjam el vétkeimet?", performed by Friderika Bayer, in Шаблон:Escyr. Hungary received the maximum score of 12 points from the first three countries to vote. However, as the competition progressed, it attracted fewer votes and ultimately finished in fourth place.
The Шаблон:Escyr entry was not as successful, garnering only 3 points, narrowly beating last-place Germany. In Шаблон:Escyr Hungary again failed to qualify when "Fortuna", performed by Gjon Delhusa did not qualify from the pre-qualification round.
Hungary withdrew after the Шаблон:Escyr contest. It had planned to return in 2004,[1] but ultimately did not take part in the contest. They eventually returned in Шаблон:Escyr, where they finished in 12th place in the final with "Forogj, világ!", performed by NOX. However, Hungary withdrew again in Шаблон:Escyr, returning in Шаблон:Escyr with "Unsubstantial Blues", the first Hungarian entry in English, performed by Magdi Rúzsa, the winner of the 3rd season of the Hungarian talent show Megasztár. The song came 9th in Helsinki, receiving 128 points in the final.
After coming last in the semi-final in the Шаблон:Escyr contest, Magyar Televízió (MTV), the Hungarian broadcaster, confirmed Hungary's participation at the Шаблон:Escyr contest in Moscow. After MTV's original choice was revealed to have been released before 1 October 2008, breaking contest rules, it was decided that "Dance with Me", performed by Zoltán Ádok, would be Hungary's entry, after MTV's second choice to represent Hungary declined.[2][3] The song placed 15th in the second semi-final, failing to qualify for the grand final for the second time since the introduction of the semi-finals in Шаблон:Escyr.
In October 2009, MTV confirmed that it would not participate in the Шаблон:Escyr contest due to financial limitations in the company which would prevent it from sending an entry.[4] Duna TV broadcast the event live and applied for EBU membership to send a representative to Düsseldorf in 2011. However, during the EBU's 65th conference, Duna TV's bid to become an active member was rejected. In December 2010, it was confirmed that MTV had agreed to return to the 2011 edition.[5] MTV internally selected the song "What About My Dreams?", performed by Kati Wolf. The song placed 7th in the first semi-final with 72 points and was the first entry representing Hungary to qualify for the final since Шаблон:Escyr. In the final, the song placed 22nd with 53 points.
In Шаблон:Escyr, MTV organised a national final, A Dal, to select the Hungarian entry for the contest in Baku. The song "Sound of Our Hearts", performed by Compact Disco, was selected. The song placed 10th in the first semi-final with 52 points, and 24th in the final with 19 points. A Dal had been used as the Hungarian selection process every year since.
In Шаблон:Escyr, Hungary reached the top 10, when the song "Kedvesem (Zoohacker Remix)", performed by ByeAlex, placed 10th with 84 points. Hungary reached the top 5 in Шаблон:Escyr, when the song "Running", performed by András Kállay-Saunders, placed 5th with 143 points, achieving the best result Hungary has had since their first participation in 1994.
Hungary made it to the top ten once again in Шаблон:Escyr, when the song "Origo", performed by Joci Pápai, placed 8th with 200 points, achieving their best result in three years. Pápai represented Hungary again in Шаблон:Escyr with the song "Шаблон:Lang", but failed to qualify for the final, marking Hungary's first non-qualification since 2009.
Hungary did not appear on the final list of participants for the later-cancelled Шаблон:Escyr contest; it has been absent from the contest since.[6][7][8] MTVA stated that it would continue to organise A Dal to "support the valuable productions created by the talents of Hungarian pop music directly" instead of participating in the contest.[9] The withdrawal came during a rise of anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment among the leadership of Hungary and MTVA; while no official reason for the withdrawal was given by the broadcaster, an inside source speaking with the website Index.hu speculated that the contest was considered "too gay" for MTVA to participate.[10]
