OGAE Second Chance Contest 1990
The 1990 OGAE Second Chance Contest was the 4th 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. 14 songs competed in the contest, held in Östersund in Sweden for the third year in a row, despite Denmark winning the previous contest with "Landet Camelot" by Lecia Jønsson.
Austria, Cyprus, Italy and Portugal entered the contest for the first time, with OGAE Italy entering the winning song of the Italian San Remo Festival. Ireland and the Netherlands returned adter their absences the previous year, while Israel was the only country to withdraw due to an internal selection being made for Eurovision.
The contest was won once again by Sweden, represented by Carola with "Mitt i ett äventyr". Carola would go on to win the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 with "Fångad av en stormvind". Linda Martin, representing Ireland, would also go on to win at Eurovision, winning with "Why Me?" in 1992.
