Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has participated in the Asiavision Song Contest twice since its debut in the first edition. The country's best result is 2nd in the Grand Final which it achieved in 2019. Despite initially selecting Stephanie Sansoni & Pasan Liyanage to represent the country in 2021 with the song "Sihineka arthaya", it was announced that the song had been publicly released before 1st January 2021 and would therefore be ineligible. Sri Lanka was also given 24 hours to respond. Sri Lanka responded by apologising for the incident, however decided to withdraw from the contest.
