The participation of Argentina in the OTI Festival first began at the inaugural OTI Festival in 1972 held in Madrid. Canal 7 and Canal 13 Argentina, members of the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI), were responsible for the Argentinian participation. Its participation in the song contest was only interrupted once, in 1974. All the Argentinian representatives in the show were selected internally.
