[1] Poland's highest placement in the contest, to this point, has been second place, which the nation achieved with its debut entry in 1994 with the song "To nie ja!"

Poland has only, thus far, reached the top ten on one other occasion, when Ich Troje performing the song "Keine Grenzen – Żadnych granic" finished seventh in 2003.

Between 2005 and 2009, Poland failed to qualify from the semi-final round four out of five years with only their 2008 entry, "For Life" performed by Isis Gee, managing to take the nation to the final during that period.

They failed to qualify to the final in 2009 with their entry "I Don't Wanna Leave" performed by Lidia Kopania.

[3][4] Krajowe Eliminacje 2010 was the national final organised by TVP in order to select the Polish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010.

The show took place on 14 February 2010 at the TVP Headquarters in Warsaw, hosted by Aleksandra Rosiak and Artur Orzech.

[7] TVP opened a submission period for interested artists and songwriters to submit their entries between 25 September 2009 and 2 November 2009.

The selection committee consisted of Wojciech Hoflik (director of TVP1), Maria Szabłowska (music journalist at TVP and Polish Radio), Paweł Sztompke (journalist, music critic and editorial director of music at Polish Radio), Krzysztof Szewczyk (music journalist at TVP and Polish Radio), Boleslaw Pawica (TV director, screenwriter and producer), Artur Orzech (Eurovision commentator, radio and television journalist and presenter), Marek Lamprecht (TV editor, director and producer), Piotr Klatt (musician, songwriter, journalist and music producer at TVP and artistic director of the Opole Festival), Mikołaj Dobrowolski (Assistant Head of Delegation for Poland at the Eurovision Song Contest) and Tomasz Deszczyński (President of OGAE Poland).

Ten entries competed and the winner, "Legenda" performed by Marcin Mroziński, was determined entirely by a public vote.

The backing performers that joined Mroziński on stage were: Paulina Andrzejewska, Oliwia Kukułka, Weronika Bochat, Mirella Kostrzewa, Małgorzata Czaczkowska.

This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.
