Monaco debuted in the first edition of The Origin Song Contest. The Monégasque broadcaster, TMC, is in charge of the country's participation at the contest.
TMC, Monaco's broadcaster responsible for the Monégasque participation in The Origin Song Contest, has selected the entry internally for the first and the second edition. From the third edition on, TMC has held the national final "Origine Monégasque...Écoute-Nous!" to find Monaco's representative.
Since the third edition, Monaco has held a national final for every edition of The Origin Song Contest and is because of that eligible to participate in the OGAO Second Chance Contest.
