Tuva, a federal subject of Russia, has competed in the Turkvision Song Contest three times. Participants representing Tuva entered the semi-finals in the 2013 and 2014 contests, but no participants from Tuva entered in 2015. They returned to the contest in 2020.

## History[edit]

Tuva made their debut in the Turkvision Song Contest at the 2013 contest in Eskişehir, Turkey.[1] Saylık Ommun represented Tuva with the song "Çavıdak", composed by Salim Sarık-Ool and written by Anonim.[2] Ommun was due to participate for Russia, but instead represented Tuva after the final list of entries was revealed.[1][3] Tuva did not qualify from the semi-final held on 19 December.[4]

Tuva had internally selected Ayas Kullar to represent them at the 2014 contest.[5] However, upon publication of the running order draw on 17 November 2014, Tuva along with Northern Cyprus were withdrawn from participation.[6] The Tuvan delegation arrived for the contest 1 day before the semi-final and were drawn to perform 25th.[7] They placed 20th with 151 points.

Tuva had selected Arjaana Stal-ool with the song "Tuvam" for the 2015 contest to be held in Istanbul, Turkey. However, Tuva withdrew from the contest in November 2015[8] due to the deterioration of relations between Russia and Turkey after a Turkish fighter jet shot down a Russian attack aircraft. Vladimir Medinsky, Minister of Culture of Russia, had sent a telegram to the Head of the Republic of Tuva asking that Tuva cease cooperation with Türksoy, the contest organisers.[9] Vera Lapshakova, Deputy Minister of Culture of Tuva, stated that the republic had no joint plans with Türksoy at the time.[10]
