As we get closer to the commencement of the Eurovision 2023 season, more and more countries continue to reveal their participation. Another country that has confirmed its participation is Greece.
The search for Greece’s Eurovision 2023 representative has begun
ERT has invited record companies to submit its proposals to the broadcaster. Those who are interested have until the 9th of October to submit their proposals. ERT has stated that the proposal submitted must be complete (including the performer/group of a maximum of six members, and one to three songs that have not been released or performed in Greece).
ERT has stated in its call that the submissions must not have been submitted to another broadcaster participating in the Eurovision Song Contest until they have completed its evaluation.
Greece’s Eurovision Journey
In 1974, Greece made its debut to the Eurovision Song Contest with “Krasi, thalassa ke t’agori mou” (Κρασί, θάλασσα και τ’αγόρι μου) which placed 11th. Since then they have participated on 42 occasions (40 of which made the Grand Final), and have one once in 2005.
Greece’s most recent Eurovision participation saw them being represented by Amanda Tenfjord with the song “Die Together”, which saw Greece qualify for the Grand Final, where they placed 8th, after receiving 215 points from the Jury and Televoters.
