The aim of the article is to indicate the features of the presidential campaign of 2010 in Poland which differentiated it from previous campaigns. The main factors that determined its course were: the catastrophe of the President’s aircraft with 96 victims, including President of the Polish Republic, and flood that occurred in South-East Poland in the middle of ongoing campaign. Those circumstances caused the radical change in election strategies of main candidates and the change in tone of media coverage of the campaign. Previous estimations and speculations on the potential results of elections become invalid. The article discusses the most characteristic elements of the 2010 presidential campaign. First of all, campaigns of two main candidates were conducted r in their names rather than by themselves. Secondly, the campaign focused on emotions to extend not observed before. All competing candidates declared nonadversial competition. The stress was put on direct campaigning. Last, but not least, the campaign showed unprecedented involvement of the public media and the Catholic Church in the course of the campaign. All those elements were interrelated and resulted from mentioned determinants.
