OGAE Second Chance Contest
◄2004        2006►

The 19th OGAE Second Chance Contest was held in Bilbao, Spain after Davinia won the 2004 contest with "Mi obsesión". 24 countries competed in the contest for the title of the best song that didn't make it to the Eurovision stage through their national selection, however Estonia was disqualified as it could not be reached to give their votes for the contest. Two guest juries also voted from Italy and Portugal, giving a total number of 25 juries.^[1]

Belgium, France, Ireland and Russia all returned to the contest after holding national finals to select their entries. Poland and Portugal were forced to withdraw after internal selections were held in their countries.

The contest was won by Sweden's Alcazar with "Alcastar", who received 201 points, 24 more than runner-up Serbia and Montenegro. Ireland came last, receiving nul points from all juries.^[2]
