History

Tuva made their debut in the Turkvision Song Contest at the 2013 contest in Eskişehir, Turkey.[2] Saylık Ommun was due to participate for Russia, but instead represented Tuva after the final list of entries was revealed.[4]

Tuva had internally selected Ayas Kullar to represent them at the 2014 contest.[5] However, upon publication of the running order draw on 17 November 2014, Tuva along with Northern Cyprus were withdrawn from participation.[6] The Tuvan delegation arrived for the contest 1 day before the semi-final and were drawn to perform 25th.[7] They placed 20th with 151 points.
