Istola in the CBA Song Festival

Istola has participated in the CBA Song Festival 6 times, debuting in the 2006 contest and participating every year thereafter until 2011. Istola withdrew from the contest following their 2011 appearance, with the national broadcaster Istolan Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) citing unhappiness with the way the contest operates. The country has not entered the contest again since. Interest in the contest has however remained high in the island nation, while statements from the Istolan government and broadcaster indicated a return was possible, depending on financial backing.
Istola is perhaps the most unluckiest country in the contest, having an average placement of 24.3. Istola did not qualify for the final in either 2010 or 2011.
