Ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, we had the opportunity to speak to Justyna Steczkowska, who will represent Poland at this year’s contest.
We spoke to Justyna Steczkowska at the London Eurovision Party. We asked her about her time in London, how coming so close to representing Poland last year has influenced her in 2025, how Eurovision has evolved since 1995, plus where does she get all of her energy from.
We thank Justyna for her time and wish her the best of luck in Basel in May.
Justyna Steczkowska was selected to represent Poland through Wielki finał polskich kwalifikacji. She will be returning to Eurovision for Poland with “Gaja”, thirty years on from competing with “Sama”. Poland will perform second in Semi-Final One on May 13.

Poland debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 alongside a number of other Eastern European countries. Their debut year saw their best result to date in the contest, as Edyta Gorniak finished in 2nd place with her song “To nie ja!”. Following this, Poland failed to repeat this initial success, managing a top 10 placing on only one other occasion during their initial participation in the contest between 1994 and 2011. In 2012, following a string of non-qualifications, Poland withdrew from the contest due to financial difficulties. Since their return in 2014, they have been considerably more successful in the contest, having qualified for the final six times out of ten attempts.
