Mam talent! (English: I have talent!) is the Polish version of the Got Talent series. The aim of the program is to choose the most talented person from people showing their talents. The winner of the show in the first series got €100,000, in the second and third series – 300,000 złotys. Prizes for people from the second and third place are chosen by producers of the shows. The show is hosted by Marcin Prokop and Szymon Hołownia, and the judges are Agnieszka Chylińska, Małgorzata Foremniak and Agustin Egurrola.

In spring, there were preliminary castings (not broadcast on TV) which chose qualifying participants for the usual presentations with jury, audience and cameras. In the second stage of qualifications, held in five Polish towns (Katowice, Gdańsk, Poznań, Wrocław and Warsaw), 4000 people/groups appeared. The jury sent 130 through to the next stage. Decisions by the jury were made by casting a positive or negative vote. To continue on in the competition, the participant needed to receive two positive votes. If any of the jury members does not like a performance, they can press a button which switches on a red cross; 3 red crosses ends the performance. From the 130 qualifying acts, the jury chose 40 to appear in the semi-finals.

Participants of five semi-finals show their talents in live programs in front of jury (the same as in qualifications), cameras and audience. In every semi-final 8 people/groups of the 40 appear. Jury votes in the same way like before, but the decision about participants going to the next stage is made by viewers, who can call or send a SMS to vote for a participant. The participant who gets the most votes is going to the final stage, and from the two people who got the second and third place in viewers' voting one person which goes to the final is chosen by the jury. From the second season of the show the results of incomplete votings are shown on the website of the show. The complete results are shown after the broadcast of program ends.
