Poland selected its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 on 14 February 2010. Telewizja Polska (TVP) held a national selection, Krajowe Eliminacje, to select the Polish entry for the contest, which was held in Oslo, Norway from 25 to 29 May 2010.

Before Eurovision

Krajowe Eliminacje 2010

Krajowe Eliminacje 2010 was the national final organised by TVP in order to select the Polish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. The show took place on 14 February 2010 at the TVP Headquarters in Warsaw, hosted by Aleksandra Rosiak and Artur Orzech. Public SMS voting exclusively selected the winner.

Competing entries

TVP opened a submission period for interested artists and songwriters to submit their entries between 25 September 2009 and 2 November 2009. Only Polish artists were eligible to compete and entries from Polish songwriters were preferred.[1][2] The broadcaster received 122 submissions at the closing of the deadline. A ten-member selection committee selected four entries from the received submissions to compete in the national final.[3] The selection committee consisted of Wojciech Hoflik, Maria Szabłowska, Paweł Sztompke, Krzysztof Szewczyk, Boleslaw Pawica, Artur Orzech, Marek Lamprecht, Piotr Klatt, Mikołaj Dobrowolski and Tomasz Deszczyński. The selected entries were announced on 25 November 2009.[4]

On 25 November 2009, the band PIN withdrew from the national final due to scheduling issues. Between 27 November 2009 and 28 January 2010, VIR,[5][6] Sonic Lake, Nefer,[7] Iwona Węgrowska, ZoSia, Leszcze[8] and Marcin Mroziński[9] were announced as the selected wildcards after TVP opened an additional submission period.[10][11]

Final

The televised final took place on 14 February 2010. Ten entries competed and the winner, "Legenda" performed by Marcin Mroziński, was determined entirely by a public SMS vote.[12][13] Unlike previous Piosenka dla Europy contests, voting lines were open from the beginning of the first performance, as with the Eurovision Song Contest itself.[14] In addition to the performances of the competing entries, 1994 Polish Eurovision entrant Edyta Górniak and 1999 Polish Eurovision entrant Mietek Szcześniak performed as the interval acts.
