Performing during the show in position 3, "Amazing" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final.

In 2013, "Et uus saaks alguse" performed by Birgit managed to qualify Estonia to the final where the song placed twentieth.

The competition consisted of twenty entries competing in two semi-finals on 14 and 21 February 2014 leading to a ten-song final on 1 March 2014.

[4][5] The final was also broadcast via radio on Raadio 2 as well as streamed online at the official Eurovision Song Contest website eurovision.tv.

On 2 October 2013, ERR opened the submission period for artists and composers to submit their entries up until 9 December 2013.

August Hunt, Kõrsikud, Liisi Koikson (MiaMee), Maiken, Norman Salumäe, Sofia Rubina, Traffic and Tuuli Rand (lead singer of Vöörad) have all competed in previous editions of Eesti Laul.

[10] The jury panel that voted in the semi-finals consisted of Nele-Liis Vaiksoo, Valner Valme, Anna Põldvee, Olav Osolin, Heini Vaikmaa, Mart Niineste, Erik Morna, Owe Petersell, Els Himma, Liis Lemsalu and Tauno Aints.

[11][12] The final took place on 1 March 2014 at the Nokia Concert Hall in Tallinn, hosted by Marko Reikop and Henrik Kalmet.

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, an 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.

[19] Tanja was also joined by three backing vocalists: Kaire Vilgats, Marvi Vallaste and Marilin Kongo.

[20][better source needed] At the end of the show, Estonia was not announced among the top 10 entries in the first semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final.

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.
