The nation competed in the contest on three consecutive occasions between 2007 and 2009 without qualifying to the final : in 2007 Kabát performing `` Malá dáma '' placed 28th ( last ) in the semi-final achieving only one point, in 2008 Tereza Kerndlová performing `` Have Some Fun '' placed 18th ( second to last ) in her semi-final scoring nine points, in 2009 Gipsy.cz performing the song `` Aven Romale '' placed 18th ( last ) in their semi-final failing to score any points. The Czech broadcaster withdrew from the contest between 2010 and 2014 citing reasons such as low viewing figures and poor results for their absence. In 2015, Czech Republic returned to the contest and once again failed to qualify to the final with the song `` Hope Never Dies '' performed by Marta Jandová and Václav Noid Bárta, placing 13th in their semi-final with 33 points. In 2016, Czech Republic was represented by Gabriela Gunčíková and the song `` I Stand ''. The country qualified for the final and placed 25th out of 26 entries. This marked the first qualification to the final for the Czech Republic since they debuted in the contest in 2007. In 2017, Czech Republic was represented by Martina Bárta with the song `` My Turn ''. The song failed to qualify for the final and placed 13 in their semi-final scoring 83 points. Before Eurovision Eurovision Song CZ Eurovision Song CZ was the national selection process organised by Česká televize to select Czech Republic 's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. The winner was revealed on 29 January 2018. Format The winner was determined, from among six competing entries, by the combination of votes from a public vote and a ten - member international jury panel. For the public vote, users were able to vote for the winner from 8 January 2018 to 22 January 2018 via the official Eurovision Song Contest app. Both international and Czech users were able to vote, but only votes from users in the Czech Republic were counted. The international jury panel consisted of ten former Eurovision entrants : Dami Im -- represented Australia in the 2016 Contest Robin Bengtsson -- represented Sweden in the 2017 Contest Naviband -- represented Belarus in the 2017 Contest SunStroke Project -- represented Moldova in the 2017 Contest Sanja Vučić -- represented Serbia in the 2016 Contest Jalisse -- represented Italy in the 1997 Contest Iveta Mukuchyan -- represented Armenia in the 2016 Contest Nathan Trent -- represented Austria in the 2017 Contest Norma John -- represented Finland in the 2017 Contest Liora Simon -- represented Israel in the 1995 Contest Competing entries Česká televize received over four hundred song submissions for the Eurovision Song Contest, of which 36 were by Czech songwriters. The six selected finalists were announced on 8 January 2018 and the entries were made available to the public. It was announced on 23 January that Mikolas Josef had won the jury vote with 68 points, with the remaining jury scores and televotes, as well as the overall result, being revealed on 29 January.

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the `` Big 5 '' ( France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom ) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final ; the top ten countries from each semi-final progressed to the final. Semi-final The Czech Republic performed fifth in the first semi-final, following the entry from Belgium and preceding the entry from Lithuania. At the end of the show, they were announced as one of the ten countries to qualify for the grand final, making it only the second occasion that the Czech Republic have qualified for the final. Subsequently, at the semi-final winners ' press conference, the qualifying contestants all drew to see which half of the final they would compete in. The Czech Republic was drawn to compete in the second half. Final Czech Republic performed fourteenth in the grand final, following France and preceding Denmark. In spite of a back injury that largely prevented Josef from performing too many complicated dance moves, he performed an impressive front - flip to a warm response from the crowd. At the end of the night, Czech Republic finished in sixth place with 281 points, with 66 points from the jury ( 15th place ) and 215 points from the televote ( 4th place ). This is their highest finish in the contest and their first appearance in the top ten, 240 points better than their finish in 2016. Voting Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1 - 8, 10 and 12 : one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation 's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury judged each entry based on : vocal capacity ; the stage performance ; the song 's composition and originality ; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they can not vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation 's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.
