Cyprus will hold a live national final to select its Eurovision Song Contest entry in 2008. The song will be selected by a combination of a national televote and jury. Songs are being invited and the submission deadline has been set for November 15th.
The national final will use a combination of voting to select the next Cypriot Eurovision Song Contest entry. The vote will comprise a jury which will provide 40% of the votes, and a national televote will make up 60% of the total votes.
Songwriters have until November 15th to submit entries and the final mastered versions of the songs must reach RIK by 1st January 2008.
Cyprus have failed to qualify for the Eurovision Song Contest since Christos Christophorou failed to finish in the top ten in 2005. In 2006, Annet Artani missed out on qualifying for the final in Athens. This year, Evridiki failed to qualify for the Eurovision Song Contest final in a surprise result after being tipped as many people's favourite.
