Chepulisk in the Mearthvision Song Contest

Internal selection

Chepulisk has participated in the Mearthvision Song Contest once, in 218 in Sydinie. The country was one of ten countries that made its debut that year, having become an independent country in October 217 due to the dissolution of Russanplon. The country's broadcaster, CTK, chose to send NotGon and "Fairytale", which, despite positive reception, failed to qualify from the pre-qualifying round.

## History

On 17 August 217, a bill was passed which dissolved Russanplon into multiple of its republics. In the coming weeks, most of the broadcasters of each republic, many of which were already existing regional broadcasters, were offered the "independence present", allowing them to participate in the contest in 218 as Associate Broadcasters of the IBU. Nine of the broadcasters accepted this offer, including Chepulisk's broadcaster CTK.

CTK internally selected NotGon as their entrant, announcing them to the public on 8 February 218, along with their song "Fairytale". At the contest, Chepulisk, along with the nine other debuting countries, took part in a pre-qualifying round on 11 May 218, performing 6th. Despite positive reception, as well as finishing 4th in the televote with 143 points, NotGon failed to qualify for the final, finishing 6th in the PQR with with 243 points; Chepulisk had only received 100 points from the jury vote, in which they finished 8th.

CTK announced that Orya Poltorak will represent Chepulisk at the 219 contest on 17 October 218, before revealing her song "Hear Me" on 31 January 219. Due to the large intake in countries, only the "Big Six" consisting of the top six placed countries of the previous edition will automatically qualify for the final; as it did not qualify let alone finish in the top 6, Chepulisk will have to take part in the second semi-finals.
