Cyprus in EuroMusic Song Contest 2

Cyprus participated in the second edition of the EuroMusic Song Contest. The Cypriotic broadcaster, CyBC, was responsible for this edition.

Selection process
For their second participation in the contest, the CyBC decided to select their submission internally. Due the language rule of the EBU, who obligate the participating countries to select a song in their own national language, decided Cyprus to perforn the Greek song: "Thalassa, ilios, aeras, fotia".

At EuroMusic Song Contest
Cyprus was drawn to perform fifth, following Germany and preceding Luxembourg.

Cyprus was due the bookmakers counted as possible winner. The voting was a very exiting one. Only after the last voting country, Spain gived Cyprus ten points, what was enough to win the show.

Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Cyprus and awarded by Cyprus in the final.
