The national final consisted of fourteen competing acts participating in a televised production where "Cheesecake" performed by Teo was selected as the winner following the combination of votes from a jury panel and public televoting.

Performing during the show in position 10, "Cheesecake" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 10 May.

[1] The nation's best placing in the contest was sixth, which it achieved in 2007 with the song "Work Your Magic" performed by Koldun.

[4] Auditions were held on 28 and 29 November 2013 at the BTRC studios where a jury panel was tasked with selecting up to fifteen entries to proceed to the televised national final.

The jury consisted of Gennady Davydko (chairman of BTRC), Vasily Rainchik (musician/composer), Alexander Tikhanovich (singer), Elena Treshchinskaya (head of the radio station "Radius FM"), Alexander Mezhenny (director of the Shtam dance school), Alyona Lanskaya (singer, represented Belarus at Eurovision in 2013), Marianna Malchik (head of the department of arts at the Belarusian Ministry of Culture), Eduard Martynyuk (soloist of the National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater) and Mikhail Revutsky (head of the section of culture at TV Infoservice).

On 5 April, Teo performed during the Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Melkweg venue in Amsterdam, Netherlands and hosted by Cornald Maas and Sandra Reemer.

[12] On 20 April, Teo performed during the Russian Pre-Party event, which was organised by ESCKAZ and held at the Karlson restaurant in Moscow, Russia.

[13] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.

On 20 January 2014, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in.

[23] The three backing vocalists that joined Teo were: Denis Lis, Artyom Akhmash and Yuriy Seleznyov, while the two dancers were: Alexander Zalesskiy and Andrey Martynov.

The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency.

This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.
