A total of twenty-four countries took part in the competition therefore a semi-final was held in the same venue on 9 and 10 June 1994. Out of the 24 countries, 16 did not qualify to the final, including the host country Poland. All participants performed a classical piece of their choice accompanied by the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kazimierz Kord.[1] Nine countries made their début, while five countries returned (France, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden) and FR Yugoslavia withdrew from the 1994 contest.[1]

The non-qualified countries were Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia and Spain.
