History
North Vision Song Contest 8
After the win of Lebanon in November 2013 for NVSC 05, the NBU council wanted to reconsider the Algerian participation in NVSC. A HoD was finally found on 3rd January 2014.
On the 25th of February, it was annoinced that Algeria would debut in NVSC 08 with an entry chosen through the national selection Algerian Rythms.
The winner of the first selection was "Olorun Mi" by the Nigerian singer Tiwa Sawage (The song took part as a Foreign Act), with 142 points. Tiwa was drawn to perfotm on the 8th position in the Second Semi-Final.
Algeria didn't qualify for the Final, ending 12th in SF with 65 points.
North Vision Song Contest 9
Due to the success of the first selection, the Algerian broadcaster decided to make another edition of Algerian Rythms, with a new format. The winner of the selection was the song "Près de Toi" by Arash, Najim & Rebecca with 176 points. This choice made a controversy because a different version of the song had already competed in the Swedish National Selection, Fantasifestivalen.
The song was drawn to perform on the 7th position in the first Semi-Final. 
Algeria avoided PQR by ending 14th in the Semi-Final with 48 points. This bad result made a big disappointment amongst the Algerian North Vision fans.

The first edition of the selection had 3 artists participating with 3 songs each. The winner was the famous Zaho with her song "Tout est Pareil", which managed to get 40% of the public votes. Another controversy happened beacuse it was the only song which wasn't sung in Arabic amongst the African countries.
Algeria was drawn to perform on the 20th and last position of the second Semi-Final. Despite an unsure qualification, according to the Betting Odds, Zaho managed to end 5th in the Semi-Final with 79 points, giving her country its first qualification in the contest. Later in the night, it was decided that Algeria would perform in the 5th position in the Final.
