Poland: TVP extends application deadline for Eurovision 2025!

TVP has decided to extend the application deadline for its televised national selection for Eurovision 2025. After a one-year break, TVP returns to its traditional national selection, giving the chance to aspiring artists to submit their bid for Eurovision 2025 and the public to select its favorite.

Initially, the application window was set to close on December 4th, following its opening on November 8th. However, due to overwhelming interest from potential participants, TVP has decided to extend the deadline, ensuring that more artists have the chance to apply.

Application deadline extended

The submission window for the Polish national selection will now remain open until December 8th, giving additional time for those who wish to enter their songs. This extension follows requests from artists eager to participate in the competition.

Subsequently, some other deadlines associated with the pre-selection process will also be adjusted.

Polish pre-selection for Eurovision 2025 – The procedure

Once the submission window closes, entries will be reviewed by a professional jury. This panel will consist of between nine to fifteen members, including representatives from TVP, artists, media professionals, and Eurovision fans.

The jury will select a maximum of twenty-five songs from all submissions. A casting process will be held among these selected artists, with the possibility that some acts could be directly qualified for the final without needing to go through the casting.

From this group, eight to ten artists will progress to the televised national final. Additionally, two reserve entries will also be selected in case of any withdrawals or changes.

The reveal of the competing acts will take place on January 14, 2025.

The Final

The grand final of Poland’s Eurovision 2025 preselection will be broadcast live on February 14th, 2025, in Warsaw. Unlike the previous editions, the winner will be determined entirely by the public, who will cast their votes via SMS.

In the event of technical difficulties with the SMS voting system, TVP has put in place a contingency plan. Should a voting failure occur, the backup jury will select the winner based on their preferences.

After the final, TVP will publish the full results of the SMS voting, ensuring transparency in the selection process.

This year Poland was represented by Luna with the song “The Tower” without however managing to qualify for the grand final as she finished in 12th place in the first semi-final with 35 points.
