Belarus

Belarus first participated in Edition 1, before withdrawing and then returning in Edition 6. Their best result was in their debut edition, where they came 5th with "Vbyla Myloho" by TAKAYA, coming 5th with 72 points, althought would've won if they hadn't received a penalty. Their other result in Edition 6 was 15th place, with "Детали" by KAZNA.

Edition 1 penalty
In Edition 1, as with every edition, countries that fail to submit their votes within the deadline receive a penalty of losing 50% of their points. In this edition, this was enough to push Belarus from a strong, large first place lead all the way to fifth place, changing the editions winner. This was met with some critizism from other countries, although Belarus themselves stated that they were okay with not winning.

Flag controversy
In Edition 1 and Edition 6, Belarus was presented using the red & green flag which is officially used to represent the country. This was met with a lot of critizism, with people asking for the contest hosts to change the flag to the red & white flag used unofficially to support the Belarusian people. While Albania was hosting the contest, they officially denied this request in the first edition, so many people were hopefull when Australia became the hosts in the second edition onwards that they would switch the flag. However, when Edition 6 happened, despite Australia originally requesting the flag be changed in the first edition, the red & green flag was still used to represent the country, with Australia issuing no statements. In July 2021, it was announced that any time Belarus participated in the future, the red & white flag would be used instead.
