Draft:Poland in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024

Poland is set to take part in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Madrid, Spain. The Polish broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP) is responsible for the country's participation in the contest and will choose the Polish entry through the national selection Szansa na sukces.

Background
Prior to the 2024 contest, Poland had participated in the contest ten times. In and, Poland finished in last place, and they decided not to participate from 2005 to 2015. The country returned in. In both and, Poland won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest with Roksana Węgiel and Viki Gabor respectively. In, Sara James competed for Poland with the song "Somebody" which ended up in 2nd place, being 6 points short of winning the competition. In, Maja Krzyżewska competed for Poland with the song "I Just Need a Friend", which ended up in 6th place out of 16 entries with 124 points.

In light of the 2023 Polish public media crisis, head of the Polish delegation for the contest Marta Piekarska reportedly assured that as long as "TVP trusts her", Poland would not withdraw from the Junior Eurovision Song Contest; she was later confirmed as a member of the contest's steering group, therefore confirming her involvement with the delegation for another year. In January 2024, a tender announcement was made by TVP in liquidation for the organisation of two traditional editions of Szansa na sukces that year – a spring edition, serving as the selection method for a newcomer spot at the Opole Festival, as well as an autumn edition held in relation to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest – thereby confirming it as the national final for the sixth year running.

Szansa na sukces
TVP will select the Polish representative with the television program Szansa na sukces ; the same show has also been used for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest since 2019 and various times for the Eurovision Song Contest, directly or indirectly. Artur Orzech accepted a preliminary invitation to host the format following the takeover of Polish public media in late 2023.

Casting for the show took place on 26 May 2024 at the TVP Headquarters in Warsaw, from which 21 acts were selected to advance to the competition.
