OESC 7
TVP announced that they will be debuting in the 7th edition, as many people requested it. Sylwia, a very popular singer in Poland was rumoured to represent the country. TVP confirmed the rumours some weeks before the contest started. The song was set to be presented on 19 July 2012. Karuzela was the first Polish entry. Poland did not cast their votes in both semi-final and final, therefore they were disqualified even though they were the winners of the semi-final with 97 points.

OESC 9
TVP announced that they will select their entry through a national selection. Eight songs were selected to compete in the selection. Four duels were held with two songs in each. Four songs qualified, one from each duel. Then the four songs were merged in two semi-finals. Sylwia Grzeszczak was once again selected to represent the country in the contest. Poland performed in the second semi-final from where they qualified getting the fourth place in the final. Sylwia performed sixth in the semi-final and twenty-fifth in the final.
