Greek broadcaster ERT has finally made its announcements regarding the selection of its own participant for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Bucharest.

The Greek selection show will be held on October 7th, and will present ten hopeful acts to the home audience. These acts are as follows:

1. Pinelopi Skalkotou – Mia aggalia gia ta paidia (A hug for the children)
2. Magdalene Papadopoulou – Se thelo (I want you)
3. Cloe Sofia Bolleti – Den peirazei (It's ok)
4. Carolain Tatara – Oneira glika (Sweet dreams)
5. Stergios Pertsinides – Zise kardia mou (Live, my heart)
6. Maria Eliadou – Zise ti zoe (Live the life)
7. Eleni Grammatikopoulou – To fos (The light)
8. Irene Korchatzi – Ena asteri (A star)
9. Vergina Aggelou – Kati symbenei (Something's going on)
10. Elpida Bairaktaridou – Party (Party)

The announcement will come as a relief to Greek Junior fans, who have been waiting a while for details to emerge, amidst claims of Greek apathy towards JESC.

The expert jury will include, amongst others, 1983 Cypriot representative Constantina, who sang I agapi akoma zi with Stavros.
