The Grand Final of the Polish Eurovision Song Contest 2025 Preselection “Wielki Finał Polskich Kwalifikacji” took place tonight, and was broadcasted live on TVP2. The event was hosted by Artur Orzech, Michał Szpak, Aleksandra Budka, and Grzegorz Dobek.
During the show, special guests, including Baby Lasagna and Michał Szpak, performed their Eurovision songs as interval acts throughout the evening.
Eleven artists competed in the final, with the running order as follows:
- Chrust – “Tempo”
- Kuba Szmajkowski – “Pray”
- Justyna Steczkowska – “Gaja”
- Tynsky – “Miracle”
- Daria Marx – “Let It Burn”
- Sw@da x Niczos – “Lusterka”
- Janusz Radek – “In Cosmic Mist”
- Marien – “Can’t Hide”
- Teo – “Immortal”
- Sonia Maselik – “Rumours”
- Dominik Dudek – “Hold the Light”
For the first time in recent years, the final results in the Polish National Final were determined solely by the public vote via SMS messages.
The last time the polish representative was selected with 100% public vote, it was our host Michał Szpak who got the ticket to Eurovision, back in 2016, before getting an impressive Top-3 placement in that year’s televote at Eurovision.
The results were firstly announced from 11th to 6th place, leaving the Top 5 until the end for an exciting moment on stage, which revealed the following results:
| Place | Artist | Song | Result (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Justyna Steczkowska | “Gaja” | 39.32% |
| 2 | Sw@da and Niczos | “Lusterka” | 23.69% |
| 3 | Dominik Dudek | “Hold the Light” | 13.94% |
| 4 | Chrust | “Tempo” | 5.92% |
| 5 | Kuba Szmajkowski | “Pray” | 3.98% |
| 6 | Teo | “Immortal” | 3.91% |
| 7 | Janusz Radek | “In Cosmic Mist” | 3.84% |
| 8 | Sonia Maselik | “Rumours” | 1.70% |
| 9 | Tynsky | “Miracle” | 1.46% |
| 10 | Marien | “Can’t Hide” | 1.39% |
| 11 | Daria Marx | “Let It Burn” | 0.80% |
After an exciting public vote, Justyna Steczkowska took first place with the song “Gaja,” securing her ticket to Basel.
The song “Gaja” is a manifestation of personal power and transcendence. Gea, in Greek mythology – “Mother Earth” – here becomes a symbol of divinity, strength, and love.
This will be Justyna’s return to Eurovision after 30 years, as she first represented Poland in 1995 with the song “Sama”, getting 18th place in the Grand Final. Do you think she can improve her 1995 result this year?
