Although Poland did not become member of the European Broadcasting Union until 1993, the contest was often broadcast on Polish Television - even if delayed.
Edyta Górniak's first ever performance for Poland in the contest is also the by far most successful for Poland as yet. Poland was almost disqualified that year though as Edyta sang the chorus in English in the rehearsals. Following entries were less successful, but often very favored by the fans of the contest. Not until 2003, did Poland organize a public selection and then it was no surprise when the group Ich Troje won the public vote ahead of Blue Café (favored by the fans). By 2005 though, TVP went back to an internal selection. Czarna dziewczyna was a multilingual song, performed in Polish and Russian languages. 2006 saw a comeback of a public selection in Poland's TVP. Ich Troje won the selection again, but could not repeat their 7th place from 2003, and just missed out of a place in the final of the 2006 contest, coming 11th in the semi-final. Their 2007 entry was "Time To Party", sung by The Jet Set. They however only finished 14th in the Semi-final, leaving Poland once more outside the final. 2008, however, marked the return of Poland to a Eurovision final when their entry, "For Life", sung by Isis Gee, qualified for the final from the first semifinal.
