Latvia won the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 on 25 May 2002 in Tallinn , Estonia with the song “ I Wan na ” performed by Marie N . This was Latvia ’s first victory in the contest , which also carried the right for LTV to organise the 2003 contest . LTV initially had budgetary concerns with staging the contest . The chairman of the National Radio and Television Council Ojārs Rubenis stated that if the government presented no budget guarantees , the council , which owns shares in LTV , would vote against organising the contest . Rubenis elaborated that LTV was prepared to cover the creative side and broadcasting of the contest , but additional funds would be needed for infrastructure , hotels and other financial issues
