Poland at Eurovision. How did we fare in previous editions of the competition?

The history of Poland at Eurovision dates back to 1994. Then she sent to Dublin with the song “It’s not me!”. The artist took second place in the competition and so far no artist from Poland has repeated her feat. In the following years, Anna Maria Jopek and Kasia Kowalska took part in Eurovision, but the Polish representatives failed to reach the top ten for years. The bad streak was interrupted by Ich Troje in 2003. Then the band presented the song “Keine Grenzen – No Limits” in Riga and reached the seventh place. The third performer from Poland who managed to reach the top ten at Eurovision is . In 2016, the artist sang “Color of Your Life” in Stockholm and took eighth place in the competition.
