[1] Poland's highest placement in the contest, to this point, has been second place, which the nation achieved with its debut entry in 1994 with the song "To nie ja!"Between 2005 and 2011, Poland failed to qualify from the semi-final round six out of seven years with only their 2008 entry, "For Life" performed by Isis Gee, managing to take the nation to the final during that period.[2] In 2020, TVP organised a televised national final which took place during the talent show Szansa na sukces that featured a competition among several artists and songs in order to select the Polish entry.[3] During the broadcast of Pytanie na śniadanie, it was announced that Rafał Brzozowski would represent Poland with the song "The Ride", written by Joakim Övrenius, Thomas Karlsson, Clara Rubensson and Johan Mauritzson.This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.[18] The individual rankings of each jury member in an anonymised form as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.
