Poland: TVP extends application deadline for Eurovision 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

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.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two weeks ago, Dominik Arim won Szansa na Sukces: Eurowizja Junior 2024, the Polish national selection for Junior Eurovision 2024 with the song “All Together”. A while ago, the revamped version of “All Together” was uploaded on the official Junior Eurovision’s YouTube channel alongside a music video.

You can watch the music video of “All Together”, below:

How was Dominik Arim selected?

Five artists competed for the Polish representation in the Szansa na Sukces final. Following the decision of a three-member jury  along with the public’s vote the following two advanced to the super-final:

  • Aleksandra Antoniak
  • Dominik Arim

The two super-finalists both performed the song “All Together” that TVP has prepared for Junior Eurovision 2024. Following the public’s voting exclusively, Dominik Arim emerged as the winner of Szansa na Sukces: Eurowizja Junior 2024 and will therefore serve as the country’s representative in the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest that will take place in Madrid in November.

Who is Dominik?

Dominik lives in the small town of Bobowo in the northern part of Poland, a region known for its beautiful forests and lakes. The young entertainer began performing for his family – his mom, dad, and sister Julia – before moving on to appear in shows and festivals.

He first caught the attention of the public with his rendition of Lady Gaga’s Hold My Hand on The Voice Kids Poland, where all 4 judges fought to have him on their team. Outside of singing, Dominik enjoys karate; he’s currently an orange belt.

Poland: With Michał Szpak to Eurovision 2025?

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Even though TVP is yet to officially announce that it will compete in Eurovision 2025, local artists are still very interested in the prospect. Following the expressions of interest from JoJo Siwa and Justyna Steczkowska, Michał Szpak, a former Eurovision representative, is now added to the list.

Michał Szpak represented Poland in 2016 with “Color of Your Life“, finishing third in televoting and eighth overall. Michał is open to return to the Eurovision stage and may have plans to do so.

Michał’s plans for Eurovision

Michał Szpak recently appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel “Polecany z WWA”. It was there that he was asked if he could imagine performing at Eurovision again. Michał then confirmed that he is seriously considering it.

I’m in touch with a group of people, producers who created Loreen’s song “Tattoo”. They would really like me to participate again. We’ll see how it goes. I also have a plan in my head.

However, he seems skeptical about it:

I don’t know if it’s my priority right now, but I’m not saying no, because it was a truly extraordinary experience.

Michał Szpak’s popularity in Poland has grown significantly since his Eurovision appearance, and many of his fans hope to see him return.

This year, Luna was selected by a TVP committee to represent Poland with her song “Tower“. However, Luna did not manage to qualify to the Grand Final, finishing twelfth in the first semi-final.

Poland: Justyna Steczkowska expresses interest for Eurovision 2025!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Justyna Steczkowska is still a sensation among Eurovision fans even though she did not win Poland’s national selection for the 2024 contest. The Polish diva impressed the crowd with her amazing dance routine and slavic sounding song “WITCH-ER Tarohoro” when she submitted it in the Polish preselection last year. Her performance thrilled fans in Poland and across the vast majority of the Eurovision fandom. Nevertheless, she was merely surpassed by Luna in the TVP internal committee voting.

Justyna Steczkowska appears to be preparing a song for Eurovision 2025, which she will submit to TVP subject to certain conditions, suggesting that her time in the competition may not be over.

Justyna’s song for Eurovision 2025

Justyna recently posted a teaser of her upcoming song on social media. She is collaborating with Hotel Torino, the composers of “WITCH-ER Tarohoro” and other popular Polish Junior Eurovision entries.

@justyna_steczkowska Jest moc ❤️ Może na Eurowizję ? #HotelTorino #JustynaSteczkowska #Eurowizja ♬ dźwięk oryginalny – justyna_steczkowska

She states that she may submit this song to TVP, suggesting that:

There is power. Maybe for Eurovision?

The final say must be given to the public

A five-person jury made the final decision in TVP’s internal selection process, where Justyna only came in second. Justyna would like to try once more only in the event that Poland goes back to its usual selection process, which includes a televised show where the public can vote for its representative. She therefore wants to return to the Eurovision stage only with the support of the general public on the 30th anniversary of her Eurovision performance.

Poland in Eurovision 2025

Up to this date, there is no official statement regarding TVP’s participation or selection method for Eurovision 2025. Following the speculation according to which JoJo Siwa was in talks with TVP about Eurovision, the Polish broadcaster mentioned that no decision has been made yet. More details regarding Poland’s participation in Basel is anticipated after Junior Eurovision, which will take place in November.

Luna was TVP’s pick for Eurovision 2024 with her song “Tower“. Unfortunately, she did not manage to qualify to the Grand Final, placing twelfth on the First Semi-Final.

Poland: TVP denies having discussions with JoJo Siwa for Eurovision 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

TVP now appears to be rejecting all of the speculation that has been circulating on social media over the past few weeks regarding JoJo Siwa’s potential participation for Poland in Eurovision 2025.

Via a statement, TVP mentions that:

Ladies and Gentlemen, Referring to numerous questions regarding the preparations of Telewizja Polska for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, we inform you that Telewizja Polska is not conducting any talks with artists on this matter and has not yet made any decisions regarding participation in the Contest. We will inform you about Telewizja Polska’s involvement in the preparations for this year’s Eurovision as soon as possible through the official TVP news channels.

Currently, Telewizja Polska is implementing the “Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024″. We invite you to TVP2 on September 29 this year for the final of the Polish Junior Eurovision pre-selections, which will be hosted by Artur Orzech, and on November 16 for the final in Madrid.

Because of its current focus on the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, which is scheduled for November 16 in Madrid, TVP hasn’t spoken with JoJo Siwa or any other artist for Eurovision 2025.

JoJo Siwa and Eurovision

Everything began when JoJo’s brand-new song “Yesterday’s Tomorrow’s Today” grabbed fans’ attention on TikTok with its retro Polish disco vibe. It’s even said (not confirmed) that the singer has indeed Polish routes. Then, videos started to pop-up on TikTok endorsing JoJo Siwa to represent Poland in Eurovision 2025. Furthermore, it seems that JoJo Siwa is being followed by both the official Eurovision account and TVP’s account on TikTok.

JoJo Siwa is now in Poland and on a video she uploaded yesterday she confirmed that she is in talks to represent the country in Eurovision 2025. Moreover, she also mentioned that during the period when the competition will be held in Switzerland, another project of hers will be running at the same time, but this does not seem to deter her as she would make it work.

JoJo Siwa is a media personality, singer, dancer, and actress from the United States. She first appeared as a dancer along with her mother on two seasons of the reality TV series “Dance Moms” in 2015 and 2016. Siwa joined Nickelodeon in 2017 and appeared in a number of TV series. She released a number of kid-friendly songs under Nickelodeon in 2021, including “Boomerang“, which has over a billion views on YouTube.

Siwa’s post-Nickelodeon career began in 2024 with her debut extended play, “Guilty Pleasure“, which featured the hit song “Karma“.

Poland: Court orders the announcement of the results of the national final for Eurovision 2023!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A court decision in Poland, following a complaint by the local OGAE, orders the announcement of the detailed results of the national final for Eurovision 2023.

The story of the dispute

While we have not yet practically calmed down from the scandals and the tense atmosphere at Eurovision 2024, a decision of the Warsaw Regional Administrative Court obliges the Polish public television to announce the detailed results of the jury in the national final for Eurovision 2023.

As you may remember back then, a lot had been said and written about this national final, which was considered to be at least a scandal. The favorite to win that national final was Jann with the song Gladiator. Despite the fact that the TV audience supported him with their vote, it was the jury’s score that finally gave the ticket to Blanka and her Solo, eventually finishing in the 19th place in the final.

Immediately after the end of the national final, there were many complaints, both about the conflict of interest of some of the jury members, but also about the fact that TVP never announced the detailed results of the jury.

Edyta Gorniac, who was the president of the committee, had stated that she actually only knew her own score and that the results she announced were the ones she was given on a piece of paper. Polish radio and television had explained that the process was supervised by a notary public.

Despite the persistent pressure from OGAE Poland to TVP for transparency and publication of the detailed results, there was no response towards this direction. Thus, with an official complaint of the local branch of OGAE to the regional administrative court of Poland last January, the compulsory publication of the detailed results of the jury in the national final of Eurovision 2023 was requested.

The Court’s decision

The court last week ruled that this information must be public and the public has a right to access it. It remains unknown when TVP is required to announce the official results. No one from public television appeared before the court.

After the change of government in Poland, TVP has entered a process of change and modernization, trying to follow the pro-Western footsteps of the new government. In this context was the detailed announcement of the results of the jury, in the internal selection that followed this year, highlighting the choice of the country’s participation in the competition.
