Internal selection

After much speculation, on 19 August 2014 Vladislav Yakovlev revealed on his Twitter account that Slovenia would make their debut in the 2014 contest.[2] The next day, the Slovene broadcaster RTVSLO announced that they would select their participant internally though the broadcaster's Children and Entertainment Departments.[3] On 16 September 2014, the broadcaster revealed that 12-year-old Ula Ložar had been selected to represent the country in Marsa, Malta.[1]
