Cyprus: More Details Regarding Eurovision 2023 Selection Process

Back in September 2021, we have reported that Cyprus is likely to choose its artist for Eurovision 2023 via a talent show.

And now, OGAE Greece gives us more interesting details about the plans of Cyprus for Eurovision 2023.
According to the TV magazine “Fileleftheros Cyprus“, the country will probably use a format similar to “All Together Now” by the British BBC.
The format has firstly broadcast in 2018 in the UK. Since then, 18 different countries have broadcasted it.
