Croatia is set to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden. The Croatian broadcaster Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) will organise the national final Dora 2024 to select the Croatian entry for the 2024 contest.
Background
Prior to the 2024 contest, Croatia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twenty-nine times since its first entry in 1993. The nation's best result in the contest is fourth, which it achieved on two occasions: in 1996 with the song "Sveta ljubav" performed by Maja Blagdan and in 1999 with the song "Marija Magdalena" performed by Doris Dragović. Following the introduction of semi-finals in 2004, Croatia has this far featured in eight finals. In 2023, Croatia qualified to the final (for the first time since 2017) with Let 3 and the song "Mama ŠČ!", finishing in 13th place.[1]
The Croatian national broadcaster, Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT), broadcasts the event within Croatia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. Since first participating in 1993, HRT has consistently organised the national final Dora in order to select the Croatian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, except between 2012 and 2018, when the broadcaster either opted out of participation or internally selected its entries. On 14 September 2023, HRT confirmed Croatia's participation in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest and its intention to continue to use Dora to select the nation's entry.[2]
Before Eurovision
Dora 2024
Dora 2024 is set to be the twenty-fifth edition of Dora, the national final format which selects Croatia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. The competition is expected to take place at the Marino Cvetković Sports Hall in Opatija[2][3] and air on HRT 1 as well as on the streaming service HRTi.[4] Details on the format are being announced between December 2023 and January 2024.[5][6][7] The head of the Croatian delegation to the contest, Tomislav Štengl, initially discussed the possibility of including two semi-finals in addition to the usual final, which is provisionally scheduled for 24 February 2024;[5][6][8] one semi-final was ultimately added to the format, based on which the dates will be defined by the end of January 2024.[7]
Competing entries
On 15 September 2023, HRT opened a submission period where artists – required to hold Croatian citizenship – and composers were able to submit their entries to the broadcaster until 30 November 2023.[2][3][9] At the closing of the window, a record number of 203 entries had been received.[10][11]
An expert committee reviewed the received submissions and selected twenty-four entries (plus four backups), which were announced on 15 December 2023 and will be premiered on 4 January 2024 on the program Svijet diskografije on HRT 2; the participants include Damir Kedžo and Let 3, who won the competition in 2020 and 2023, respectively.[3][4][6][10][11][12][13]
On 3 January, it was reported that Zsa Zsa withdrew from the contest for an unspecified reason.[14]

At Eurovision
The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will take place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consist of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final will progress to the final. On 30 January 2024, an allocation draw will be held to determine which of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show, each country will perform in; the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) splits up the competing countries into different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.[15]
