Estonia is set to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden, with " (Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi" performed by 5miinust and Puuluup. The Estonian broadcaster Eesti Rahvusringhääling (ERR) organised the national final Eesti Laul 2024 in order to select the Estonian entry for the 2024 contest.
Prior to the 2024 contest, Estonia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twenty-eight times since its first entry in 1994, winning the contest in 2001 with the song " Everybody" performed by Tanel Padar, Dave Benton and 2XL. Following the introduction of semi-finals in 2004, Estonia has, to this point, managed to qualify to the final on nine occasions, including in 2023, when " Bridges" performed by Alika placed eighth in the final. [1]
The Estonian national broadcaster, Eesti Rahvusringhääling (ERR), broadcasts the event within Estonia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. Since their debut, the Estonian broadcaster has organised national finals that feature a competition among multiple artists and songs in order to select Estonia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. The Eesti Laul competition has been organised since 2009, and on 5 July 2023, ERR announced that it would organise the 2024 edition of the competition, thus confirming its participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

Eesti Laul 2024 was the sixteenth edition of the Estonian national selection Eesti Laul, which selected Estonia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. The competition was held between 20 January and 17 February 2024 and was hosted by Tõnis Niinemets and Grete Kuld. [3] [4] Like in previous editions, Aleksandr Hobotov and Julia Kalenda provided Russian-language commentary in the live shows of Eesti Laul on ETV+. [5]
In July 2023, ERR announced their intention to apply changes to the production team of the selection, with Tomi Rahula stepping down from his position as chief producer after five editions, as well as to the format of the competition. [2] Karmel Killandi was later revealed as his successor. [6]
On 15 September 2023, ERR specified the details of the new format. This included only one semi-final on 20 January 2024 and a final on 17 February 2024. 15 songs competed in the semi-final and the top five qualified for the final, joining five automatic qualifiers for a ten-song final. The results of the semi-final were determined by the combination of votes from a 35 (or more)-member jury and public televoting for the first qualifiers, and a second round of public televoting for the remaining qualifiers. The winning song in the final was also selected over two rounds of voting: the top songs selected via the combination of a 9-member international expert jury and public voting went through a second round of televoting to determine the winner. [3] [7]
A submission window for interested artists was open from 15 September until 23 October 2023, with each applicant able to submit a maximum of five entries. At least 50% of the artists and/or songwriters for a submission were required to be nationals or residents of Estonia, with a lower fee imposed on Estonian-language songs compared to songs in other languages; both of the fees were doubled for entries submitted in the last two days before the deadline. [3] [7] At the closing of the application period, 215 entries had been received – 88 in Estonian, 126 in English and one in Italian. [8]
The 15 semi-finalist entries and 5 finalist entries (plus two backups) were selected by a 41-member jury composed both of professionals and non-specialist music listeners, who were not informed about the identity of the applicants until after the selection took place. The jury members, also revealed after the process, were Airi Liiva, Alice Aleksandrini, Andres Aljaste, Andres Oja , Andres Panksepp , Anett Kulbin , Anna-Aurelia Kangur, Bert Brikenfeldt, Danel Pandre , Elina Nechayeva, Evert Poom, Gerd Eston Sepp, Hanna-Liina Võsa , Heini Vaikmaa, Ivi Rausi, Juhan Paadam, Jüri Nael, Koit Raudsepp , Lauri Liiv , Magnus Müürsepp, Maian Kärmas, Margot Suur, Maria Listra , Martin Korjus, Martin Trudnikov , Ott Lepland, Owe Petersell , Pille Minev , Priit Pajusaar , Raivo Oja, Rauno Märks , Rein Fuks, Riivo Kallasmaa , Robert Kõrvits , Sten Heinoja, Sten Teppan, Tarmo Krimm, Ülar-Johannes Palm, Vaiko Eplik, Veronika Portsmuth and Yasmyn . Selected artists and entries were announced during the daily broadcasts of the ETV entertainment program Ringvaade on 6 and 7 November 2023. [7] [9] [10] [11] [12] Despite being set to be released on 8 December 2023, some were leaked the previous day. [13]
Among the selected competing artists was Laura, who represented Estonia in 2005 as part of the group Suntribe and in 2017 alongside Koit Toome.

In accordance with Eurovision regulations, which prohibit any reference to trademarks, mention of Lay's chips was removed from a verse of "(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi" ahead of the contest. [28] As part of their participation in the contest, 5miinust and Puuluup confirmed attended the Barcelona Eurovision Party on 6 April 2024, [29] the London Eurovision Party on 7 April 2024 [30] and the Nordic Eurovision Party in Stockholm on 14 April 2024. [31]
The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will take place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consist of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the " Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final will progress to the final. On 30 January 2024, an allocation draw was held to determine which of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show, each country will perform in; the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. [32] Estonia was scheduled for the second half of the second semi-final. [33] The shows' producers then decided the running order for the semi-finals; Estonia was set to perform in position 13, following the entry from Belgium and before the entry from Israel. [34]
In Estonia, all shows will be aired on ETV with Estonian-language commentary by Marko Reikop, on ETV+ with Russian-language commentary by Aleksandr Hobotov and Julia Kalenda, as well as on ETV2 with Estonian Sign Language interpreters. [35] In addition, ahead of the contest, ERR is again organising and broadcasting the Eurovision preview show Eurovisiooni laulud, starting on 31 March 2024; hosted by Eesti laul presenters Grete Kuld and Tõnis Niinemets, each weekly episode features a panel composed of television personalities and members from the public who discuss and evaluate the competing entries. [36] As part of the Eurovision programming, ERR also cooperated with DR and SVT alongside other EBU member broadcasters – namely ARD/ WDR, the BBC, ČT, ERR, France Télévisions, NRK, NTR, RÚV, VRT and Yle – to produce and air a documentary titled ABBA – Against the Odds, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Sweden's first victory at the contest with " Waterloo" by ABBA. [37]
In late March 2024, the Estonian postcard, to be shown before the country's performance in each show, was filmed. Filming took place in the same industrial area in Estonia where the music video for "(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi" was set. [38]
5miinust and Puuluup will take part in technical rehearsals on 30 April and 3 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 8 and 9 May. [39]

In accordance with Eurovision regulations, which prohibit any reference to trademarks, mention of Lay's chips was removed from a verse of "(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi" ahead of the contest. [28] As part of their participation in the contest, 5miinust and Puuluup confirmed attended the Barcelona Eurovision Party on 6 April 2024, [29] the London Eurovision Party on 7 April 2024 [30] and the Nordic Eurovision Party in Stockholm on 14 April 2024. [31]
The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will take place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consist of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the " Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final will progress to the final. On 30 January 2024, an allocation draw was held to determine which of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show, each country will perform in; the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. [32] Estonia was scheduled for the second half of the second semi-final. [33] The shows' producers then decided the running order for the semi-finals; Estonia was set to perform in position 13, following the entry from Belgium and before the entry from Israel. [34]
In Estonia, all shows will be aired on ETV with Estonian-language commentary by Marko Reikop, on ETV+ with Russian-language commentary by Aleksandr Hobotov and Julia Kalenda, as well as on ETV2 with Estonian Sign Language interpreters. [35] In addition, ahead of the contest, ERR is again organising and broadcasting the Eurovision preview show Eurovisiooni laulud, starting on 31 March 2024; hosted by Eesti laul presenters Grete Kuld and Tõnis Niinemets, each weekly episode features a panel composed of television personalities and members from the public who discuss and evaluate the competing entries. [36] As part of the Eurovision programming, ERR also cooperated with DR and SVT alongside other EBU member broadcasters – namely ARD/ WDR, the BBC, ČT, ERR, France Télévisions, NRK, NTR, RÚV, VRT and Yle – to produce and air a documentary titled ABBA – Against the Odds, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Sweden's first victory at the contest with " Waterloo" by ABBA. [37]
In late March 2024, the Estonian postcard, to be shown before the country's performance in each show, was filmed. Filming took place in the same industrial area in Estonia where the music video for "(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi" was set. [38]
5miinust and Puuluup will take part in technical rehearsals on 30 April and 3 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 8 and 9 May. [39]
