The Poles have faced mixed fortunes in the contest since early days thus only making it thrice on the the Top 10 of the leaderboard. Poland encountered an unlucky spell in the event with the introduction of the semifinals in 2004, qualifying only once between 2005-2011.

They withdrew from the competition in 2012 and returned in 2014 with Donatan and Cleo, who seem to have changed the country’s luck as the Poles have sailed to the Grand Final every year since.
