In 2008, OGAE Clubs are again invited to take part in the Retro events, this time for 1981. The year of Dublin, of Bucks Fizz, the first Eurovision clothes change and the year the Yugoslav jury seemed not to have their votes ready....

Clubs from the countries below can choose a song from their National Final for 1981 to take part in Second Chance Retro 1981.

All other Clubs can have a Guest Jury for Second Chance Retro 1981, plus enter a 1981 hit song from their country to Guest Jury Hits 1981.

Both Second Chance Retro 1981 and Guest Jury Hits 1981 are voted on by the same juries, giving 2 winners and a chance for all Clubs to compete and vote.

Below are the National Final songs from 1981.
