TVP has adjusted the rules of Szansa na sukces midway through the broadcast of the semi-finals.
The Polish national broadcaster has changed the rules of Szansa na sukces, midway through the competition being broadcast on TVP. Changes have been made to the eligibility of participants to compete, as well as how the final of the competition will work.
Previous rules that stated all participants must have Polish citizenship have been removed, previously Albert Černý who represented the Czech Republic in Tel Aviv, was in breach of the rules. The rules also state that the jury has final say in the semi-finals and that results can no longer be appealed.
The way in which the final of Szansa na sukces has also changed. Previously singers were to present a song of their choice from their repertoire. Now the contests producers are to select a past Eurovision entry for the singers to compete with. The singers will then perform the song they want to take to Eurovision.
One artist will directly qualify from each Semi-Final, with one act across the three shows being saved and also qualifying for the final. The winner will be chosen solely by public voting.
