OGAO Second Chance Contest

Production company

The OGAO Second Chance Contest is an online contest launched in April 2017 by the Czech branch of OGAO, the fan club organisation of The Origin Song Contest. The aim of the contest is to find the best song which did not advance to The Origin Song Contest, as it did not win its country's national selection.

## Format

The contest consists of only a final, and is launched normally between the second semi-final and the final results.

### Rules

Countries that participate in the second chance contest must have held a public national selection. The country's OGAO club can nominate one entry which failed to win the national selection, which will represent the country at the contest.

### Voting

All participating OGAO clubs submit one set of votes: this is in the regular TOSC style, but omits the negative points. From the second contest, countries which did not hold a national final were able to vote as part of a "rest of the world" jury. For the fourth edition, due to a reduced number of participants a revised voting system was used.

## Participation

The countries in the table below have all debuted in OGAO, having both held a national final and submitted an entry. Some countries held national finals in editions before they debuted in OGAO because they did not submit an entry.

### Selection of entries

The submission of entries began during the voting period of the grand final of the second edition of the Origin Song Contest. The first entry to be accepted was "Tol'ki my" by NGe.

### Withdrawn entries

Originally, Rita Dakota was set to perform her song "Boyus', chto da", but it was withdrawn from the selection due to her busy schedule. She was replaced by last edition's entrants, IOWA.
Rock group Naka had been accepted by the jury with their song "Maja Malitva", but this song was withdrawn due to its political message, and was replaced by Pauline with "Pačakaj".
Anna Sharkunova was originally set to perform her song "Vsyo eto bylo", but this entry was withdrawn the day before the final due to having been submitted for another international event, being replaced by "Razbivaemsya" performed by Diana Gromova.

### Postcards

The postcards were commissioned by Jaana Pelkonen, executive supervisor of the Origin Broadcasting Union. They feature an electrocardiogram passing over the eight largest Belarusian cities, and a hidden message written by Belarusian The Origin Song Contest fan Sasha.

### Voting

A total of fourteen countries voted, and a domestic televote was counted as well. The televote winner, Naviband, did not win the contest, but finished fourth.

### Results show

The results show was held on September 4th in the same venue as the final. Jaana Pelkonen was once again present, opening the show, as well as saluting the winner, and singing a birthday song in Spanish and English, showing off her polyglot skills.

Places 8-3 were shown quickly, with the only incident being a few signs of disappointment in the audience after runaway televote winners Naviband were announced to have finished fourth, but right before Teo was going to announce the winner who would recieve 140 points, and the second place who would recieve 98 points, he was told that he had forgotten the ad break due to take place.

After the ad he announced that Diana Gromova finished second, and a short recap of her song was shown.

ZØYA then took to the stage and performed an encore of "I Still Believe". Teo told the audience that he had read on ZØYA's blog that it was her birthday, and gave her a birthday cheesecake, which she munched on while tearfully thanking the audience for their support. After ZØYA finished her cheesecake, Jaana Pelkonen returned and sang her a birthday greeting, as well as congratulating her on her victory.
