Background
Main article: Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2022 contest, Croatia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twenty-six times since its first entry in 1993.[1] Croatia's highest placing in the contest, to this point, has been fourth place, which the nation achieved on two occasions: in 1996 with the song "Sveta ljubav" performed by Maja Blagdan and in 1999 "Marija Magdalena" performed by Doris Dragović. Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004 contest, Croatia had featured in seven finals. In 2021, Croatia was represented by Albina and the song "Tick-Tock". The country ended in eleventh place in the first semi-final with 110 points, not progressing to the final.[2]

Before Eurovision

Dora 2022

The national broadcaster HRT will organise Dora 2022 in order to select the nation's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022. The competition will consist of fourteen entries competing in one final held in February 2022 at the Marino Cvetković Sports Hall in Opatija.[3]

Competing entries

On 27 October 2021, HRT opened a submission period for artists and composers to send their entries to the broadcaster until 25 November 2021, later extending the deadline until 12 December 2021.[4] Unlike in 2021, the winning song may no longer undergo a major revamp following victory, with only minor modifications allowed with permission from the broadcaster.[5]
