The winner was decided by a mix of 50% jury 50% televote. The jury consisted of opera singer Alice Węgorzewska, singers Maria Sadowska and Robert Janowski and musician and composer Wlodek Pawlik Krzesimir Dębski.

Ten songs competed and these became the top three:

During the announcement, Kasia could barely believe that she had won. Once the joyful shock had settled, she could finally go up on stage to perform her song once more.

Prior to the Polish national selection, Martin Fitch, who represented Poland in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest as Marcin Mroziński said: "2010 was one of the best moments in my life but now it's 2017 and I am back, stronger than ever. I am so happy to be a part of this Eurovision family and even more grateful for all the support I am getting from you. I'll do my best tonight on stage and I will #FightForUs!". In the end he had to settle for a 7th place.

During the show, last year's winner Michał Szpak also performed, as did the famous Polish singer Dorota "Doda" Rabczewska and 2016 Junior Eurovision Song Contest contestant Olivia Wieczorek.
