A few weeks after Eurovision 2022 ended, it has been reported that Cyprus will use a format similar to the one of “All Together Now” for Eurovision 2023.
However, we learned that the plans for Eurovision 2023 have been changed once again.
Based on the report of our colleagues “OGAE Greece“, Cyprus will choose an artist for Eurovision 2023 internally!
Cypriot broadcaster RIK has decided to continue its collaboration with the label “Panik Records“.
“Panik Records” was involved in choosing the Cypiot act for Eurovision in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Earlier today, an official statement was released on social media.
In the attached image, you can see the CEO of RIK, Thanasis Tsokos, signing the agreement with Giorgos Arsenakos (The CEO of “Panik Records“).
One of RIK‘s aims is to give priority to an artist from a Cypriot origin.

In addition, it is very possible that the 2 sides have also agreed on organizing a talent show for selecting the Cypriot artist for Eurovision 2024.
What do you think about this decision?
