Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:More footnotes Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox song contest country
Iceland has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 35 times since its debut in Шаблон:Escyr, missing only two contests since then, in Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr, when prevented from competing due to finishing outside qualification places the preceding years. The country's best result is second place, which it achieved with Selma in Шаблон:Escyr and Yohanna in Шаблон:Escyr. The Icelandic broadcaster for the contest is Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV), which also broadcasts Iceland's national selection competition, Söngvakeppnin.
Iceland has achieved a total of seven top ten placements, with the others being Stjórnin finishing fourth (Шаблон:Escyr), Heart 2 Heart seventh (Шаблон:Escyr), Birgitta eighth (Шаблон:Escyr), Hatari tenth (Шаблон:Escyr) and Daði og Gagnamagnið fourth (Шаблон:Escyr). Since the introduction of the semi-final round in 2004, Iceland has failed to qualify for the final eight times, including four years consecutively (2015–18). To date, Iceland is the only Nordic country that has yet to win the contest.
History
Iceland's best position at the contest is second place, which they have achieved twice: in Шаблон:Escyr when Selma represented Iceland with the song "All Out of Luck", and came second to Шаблон:Esccnty's Charlotte Nilsson and in Шаблон:Escyr when Yohanna came second to Шаблон:Esccnty's Alexander Rybak with the ballad "Is It True?".
In contrast Iceland's worst result in a grand final is last place, which has been achieved twice to date: in Шаблон:Escyr, when Daníel Ágúst received nul points for his entry "Það sem enginn sér", and in Шаблон:Escyr, when Two Tricky received three points for their entry "Angel".
With the introduction of semi-finals in Шаблон:Escyr, Iceland automatically qualified for the final that year due to Birgitta's eighth place the previous year. In Шаблон:Escyr, Iceland reached the final for the first time since then, when Euroband sang "This Is My Life". Iceland qualified for the final in seven consecutive contests between Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr before failing to qualify for the final from Шаблон:Escyr to Шаблон:Escyr. In Шаблон:Escyr, Hatari brought the country back to the final for the first time since 2014, finishing tenth, which was followed by a fourth-place finish for Daði og Gagnamagnið in Шаблон:Escyr, Iceland's joint-second best result to date, and a 23rd-place finish for Systur in Шаблон:Escyr. Another non-qualification came with Diljá in Шаблон:Escyr.
Despite these mixed fortunes, Iceland is the second most successful country never to win the contest (behind only Шаблон:Esccnty).
Sigríður Beinteinsdóttir has participated five times (as a member of a group in 1990 and 1992, as a solo artist in 1994, and as a background vocalist in 1991 and 2006). Hera Björk has participated four times (as a backing vocalist in 2008, 2009 and 2015, and as a solo artist in 2010). Stefán Hilmarsson has participated twice (as a member of a group in 1988 and as a member of a duo in 1991), as have Selma Björnsdóttir (1999 and 2005), Eiríkur Hauksson (as a member of a group in 1986 and as a solo artist in 2007. Eiríkur has in addition participated for Norway in 1991 as a member of a group.), Jón Jósep Snæbjörnsson (as a solo artist in 2004 and as a member of a duo in 2012) and Greta Salóme Stefánsdóttir (as a member of a duo in 2012 and as a solo artist in 2016).
