Scotatrova has participated in the WorldVision Song Contest 14 times since its debut in WorldVision 72 in Lipa, Besen. Scotatrova won the contest in WorldVision 86, with Ximena and the song "Distractions", scoring a total of 252 points that edition after a string of rather disappointing placments. The contest has attracted a strong viewing audience in Scotatrova, primarily because a significant proportion of the population already keeps up with the yearly Ereide eu le Cançe Scotatrofina, which follows a similar format to WorldVision but with Scotatrovian states and territories.
The SSTR made the country's debut at the 72th WorldVision with the song "Comon T'emá", a song written and performed by Andre Valerio. The song placecd 13th out of 18th participants, with 48 points. Although Scotatrova's performance in WV72 wasn't the best, it was confirmed that Scotatrova would return and participate in WV73. The Scotatrovian candidates for the WV73 contest were well known boyband Daydream with their song What We Both Know, which would end up placing 6th, Scotatrova's highest placing at the time. Scotatrova continued its participation at the 74th contest following their success the previous year.
It was announced that for the first time, WV74 will provide Scotatrovians the opportunity to choose their WorldVision representative. The Acteade Scotatrofina eu Cançis national final composes of a 50/50 say between a Scotatrovian jury and a televote to determine who will represent Scotatrova at WorldVision. The inaugural edition of the Acteade Scotatrofina or Cançis was hosted in Agon, Cortana. The winner was Lila Cruz with the song "Tude Saluthí Súe Reign". Lila finished 8th in the contest, marking the second time in a row where Scotatrova placed in the top 10. Once again Scotatrova competed in the 75th contest. The winners of the Acteade Scotatrofina eu Cançis, Mateo Garcia and Andrea Montreal were chosen as the artists to represent the country. This was the first instance of Scotatrova not placing within the top 15, in which they placed 18th.
WorldVision 76 saw a scandal with the selection of Manuel Flauirnse as its representative. Shortly after his win was announced, the SSTR had found details about what he had done in the past, which included being in an adult film with another male. This in turn led to the broadcaster rescinding his opportunity to represent his country, which also led to a flurry of national outcry and was widely broadcast on news outlets. Several days later, the SSTR announced the return of two of its previous entrants, Andre Valerio and Lila Cruz, who represented Scotatrova in WorldVision 72 and 74 respectively. The duo would go on to place 11th in the contest.
