Australia at the Your Eurovision Song Contest


Australia has participated in Your Eurovision 17 times since their debut in May 2013. The broadcaster of Australia, YE.AU, has been the organiser of the Australian entry ever since the country's debut in the contest and has used an internal selection to select the Australian entries. After the bad results in October, November, December 2013 and the last place in Winter 2014, YE.AU got a new head of delegation, Josh Salmon, the former head of delegation of New Zealand.

 

In May 2013, Australia's first entry at Your Eurovision, Samantha Jade, finished third in the final. This remained the country's best result until Summer 2014, when Sia won the contest for Australia with her song 'Chandelier'. In 2015, Australia won again with a record breaking total of 317 points with Delta Goodrem's 'Wings'. Even though Your Eurovision was cancelled after the 2015 edition, the broadcaster already confirmed their participation in the never-to-be 2016.1 edition.

 

Australia debuted in the rebooted series of Your Eurovision in Düsseldorf 2020.1. Australia's Eurovision 2015 representative Guy Sebastian was chosen as their entrant for the 2020.1 edition.
