The 2012 OGAE Second Chance Contest was the 26th OGAE Second Chance Contest, organised between members of international Eurovision Song Contest fan club OGAE to select the best song not to make it to the Eurovision Song Contest through their national finals. The contest was held in Johannesburg, South Africa after Yohanna won the 2011 Contest for Iceland, represented by OGAE Rest of the World with "Nótt".
19 countries competed in the contest. It also marked the return of 4 countries to the contest: Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia (as the entry for OGAE Rest of the World) and Russia. However Croatia, Italy, Israel, Malta, Macedonia and Poland did not participate in the Second Chance Contest. Italy, Israel and Poland, along with Andorra, France, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom were lined up to be guest juries during the voting.
The voting took place over five days from 16 October. Spain's Pastora Soler was declared the winner with the song "Tu vida es tu vida", beating Sweden's Danny Saucedo into 2nd place by a single point. Norway's Reidun Sæther took 3rd place.[1]
