Portugal

Portugal debuted in the fifth edition of GreatVision Song Contest.
==Participation==
Portugal started to participate in the fifth edition with the broadcaster Radio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP), having participated so far one edition. Since their first competition they decided on making a national final called Ótimos RTP Show, with the name adapted for the venue of each editon. In GVSC5, it was Diogo Piçarra its first winner with the song "Dialeto" that got a third place in semifinal but a twenty-third in the grand final. In GVSC6, it was April Ivy who represented the country, getting an eighth place in the final. In GVSC7, Rui Andrade got a 16th place in semifinal, without getting the next round. In GVSC8, it was Diogo Piçarra who represented the country, once again after representing the country in the 5 edition getting a thirteenth place in the final. After this RTP decided to withdraw for unknown reasons. On 4 June 2018, RTP decided to return to the contest after a 3 edition break. They internally selected Fernando Daniel and had a national final to select the song for Fernando to sing in Andorra. The vote finished in a 50%/50% tie between the 2 songs in the national, which meant the Portuguese delegation was given a final say in the song to be sent, which turned out to be "Nada mais". Unfortunately, Fernando Daniel became the second Portuguese entry to have to qualify for the final after Rui Andrade, in Sofia. RTP decided to continue its participation in the 13th edition, with the return of "Ótimos RTP Show". 5 songs competed and it was won by Diogo Piçarra and his song "Canção do Fim". He will represent Portugal for the 3rd time, previously competing in both the 5 edition and 8 edition.
