İrem Kayaali was the first representative for Romania at the Bala Turkvision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Sihirbaz", which finished in sixth place out of thirteen participating entries, achieving a score of one-hundred and two points. As of Bala Turkvision 2015, Romania have awarded the most points to Kazakhstan. They have received the most points from Albania, Azerbaijan, and Belarus. Romania confirmed on 2 March 2017 of their plans to participate in the Bala Turkvision Song Contest 2017.
Origins of the contest[edit]
Bala Turkvision is an annual song contest. Based on the similar format of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, Bala Turkvision focuses primarily on participating Turkic countries and regions. A juror from each nation awards between 1 and 10 points for every entry, except their own. In the Grand Final the jury determines the winner. Unlike the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in which the winning country proceeds to host the following year's event, hosting of the Bala Turkvision Song Contest takes place in the country or region that is also hosting the Turkish Capital of Culture.[1]
