Participation history
| |
The participation of Guatemala in the OTI Festival began at the third OTI Festival in 1974. The Guatemalan participating broadcaster was Televisiete, which was member of the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI). It participated in twenty-five editions after its debut, only missing the 1978 festival. Its best result was second achieved in 1974.
The participation of Ricardo Arjona, who represented Guatemala in 1987, is of particular note. Although he only managed to get the 12th place, he rose quickly to stardom.
