The 2001 OGAE Second Chance Contest was the 16th OGAE Second Chance Contest, organised between members of international Eurovision Song Contest fan club OGAE to select the best song not to make it to the Eurovision Song Contest through their national finals. 20 songs competed in the contest, held in Helsinki in Finland after OGAE Finland's win the previous year with "Oot voimani mun" by Anna Eriksson.^[1]

Lithuania made its debut at the OGAE Second Chance Contest this year, and five countries returned to the contest after returning from relegation from the Eurovision Song Contest and holding multi-singer national finals - Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Israel, Portugal and Slovenia. However seven countries withdrew from the contest - Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, Macedonia, Romania and Switzerland were all relegated from the 2001 Eurovision Song Contest, while France held an internal selection for the contest, making them ineligible for Second Chance. This made the host country unable to send an entry to the contest.

The 20 competing entries were joined by 12 guest juries in the voting for the winner, coming from the withdrawing countries Macedonia, Finland, France, Cyprus, Belgium and Romania and international juries from Poland, New Zealand, Austria, Russia, Italy and Canada.^[2]

At the end of the voting the winner was Sweden's Barbados with "Allt som jag ser", beating Spain's Sonia & Selena in second place, and the United Kingdom's Nanne into third place. This was the first male winner in OGAE Second Chance history, and the 8th win for Sweden.^[2]
