About the OGAE Second Chance Contest
The OGAE Second Chance Contest gives songs that did not win their national Eurovision selections a second opportunity to shine. This year, 25 songs competed for the title, in a contest hosted by OGAE Italy.
Voting is conducted by OGAE fan clubs, using the familiar Eurovision-style points system: 12 points for the most popular entry, 10 for second, 8 for third, and so on. The final result combines these votes with input from guest juries in countries that did not hold a national selection for Eurovision 2025.
