Poland competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 25 May 2010. Performing as the closing entry during the show in position 25, "Czarna dziewczyna" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Poland placed eleventh out of the 25 participating countries in the semi-final with 81 points.
Background
Prior to the 2005 Contest, Poland had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest nine times since its first entry in 1994.[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!" performed by Edyta Górniak. Poland has only, thus far, reached the top ten on one other occasion, when Ich Troje performing the song "Keine Grenzen – Żadnych granic" finished seventh in 2003. Poland's 2004 entry, "Love Song" performed by Blue Café, placed seventeenth in the final.
The Polish national broadcaster, Telewizja Polska (TVP), broadcasts the event within Poland and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. TVP confirmed Poland's participation in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest on 13 December 2004.[2] In 2003 and 2004, TVP organised televised national finals that featured a competition among several artists and songs in order to select the Polish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. However, on 19 December 2004, TVP announced that the Polish entry for the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest would be selected via an internal selection. The last time the Polish entry was selected internally was in 2001.[3]
