Polish Television (TVP) decision not to send representatives to Eurovision in 2012 and 2013 caused a controversy in Poland. It has resumed its support in 2014. However, unlike in the previous recent editions, the Polish representative was selected not by the public, but by an internal TVP commission (as has happened in the years 1994–2002 and 2005); the resulting lack of transparency was also criticized. Because of this, the selection returned in 2016, supported by the new management of TVP and deemed a more correct way to choose the entry for Eurovision. The legend of Polish Eurovision Edyta Górniak and biggest Polish stars (Margaret, Michał Szpak etc.) came to pre-selection in 2016. In 2016 the national final were won by Michał Szpak with his song "Color of Your Life". Michał Szpak achieved great success in Stockholm, he took 6th place in semi final (he qualify to final) and in the final he took 8th place. The TVP recognized that the pre-selections were successful and decided to continue organizing them. In 2017, the interest turned out to be smaller. Kasia Moś with her song "Flashlight" won National Qualification 2017. She was qualify to the finals from 9th place and in the finals she took 22nd place. National Qualification 2018 wins Polish DJ Gromee with Swedish singer Lukas Meijer with song "Light Me Up". They did not reach the final placing 14th in the semi final. After this in 2019 Polish national broadcaster back to internal selection due poor results at Eurovision.
