OGAE Second Chance Contest
◄2005 2007►

The 20th OGAE Second Chance Contest was held in Stockholm, Sweden after Alcazar won the 2005 contest with "Alcastar". 19 countries competed in the contest for the title of the best song that didn't make it to the Eurovision stage through their national selection. Six guest juries also competed in the voting from Italy, Andorra, France, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain and from the Rest of the World.[1]

Ukraine entered the contest for the first time, while Poland and Portugal returned after their absence the previous year, all holding national finals to select their entries to the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. However a large number of countries failed to hold national finals or simply withdrew from the contest. Austria withdrew from the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest, and were thus ineligible to compete in Second Chance. Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Spain and Turkey failed to hold multi-song national selections for Eurovision, while Estonia and Latvia withdrew from Second Chance out of choice. As such only 19 entries competed in the 2006 Second Chance Contest.

The contest was won by Slovenia's Saša Lendero with "Mandoline", who received 220 points, 45 points more than runner-up Norway. Poland received nul points from all juries, placing last.[2]
