Latvia was last represented by Dons last year in Malmö. Latvia finished 7th in the first semi-final with 72 points, sending Latvia into the Grand Final for the first time since 2016. In the Grand Final, Latvia finished in 16th place with 64 points. Will this year’s winning Supernova entry make it to the Grand Final once more?
