Estonia attempted to enter the Eurovision Song Contest 1993, the first time the country tried to enter the Eurovision Song Contest. However, as Estonia was one of seven countries who wished to join the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 1993, a pre selection was held for the first time to reduce this number to three countries who would compete in the final of the Contest in May, held in Millstreet, Ireland.

On 15 January 1993, the Estonian national broadcaster, ETV, confirmed their intentions to debut at the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest. The Estonian national broadcaster ETV broadcasts the event within Estonia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. Along with their participation confirmation, the broadcaster announced the name of nation's representative at the contest and revealed that the song for the contest would be selected through a national final.

With the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the disintegration of Yugoslavia many newly independent countries were formed who became interested in competing in the Eurovision Song Contest. With this large influx of countries the European Broadcasting Union were forced to create a new measure to counter overcrowding in the contest. For the 1993 Contest the EBU decided to hold a one off contest to select three countries to join the 22 countries already competing in the Eurovision Song Contest. The Kvalifikacija za Millstreet (Qualification for Millstreet) contest was held in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 3 April at the TV studios of Slovene broadcaster Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTV SLO). Seven countries in total competed, including Estonia, for a place in the final on 15 May 1993. Sillamaa performed third, following Croatia and preceding Hungary. She received 47 points, placing 5th in the line up, and failing to qualify to the grand final in Ireland.
