Cyprus in Eurovision
Cyprus debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981 and is yet to win the event. The country achieved its best results in the contest in 2018 when Eleni Foureira placed 2nd in Lisbon with her mega hit ‘Fuego’. The Mediterranean island has partaken in our beloved competition 41 times.
In 2025 the supremely talented Theo Evan represented Cyprus at the Eurovision Song Contest with his entry ‘Shh’.
