Competing entries

[edit]

The Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) opened a submission period for Cypriot artists and composers to submit songs until 10 January 1992.[1] By the end of the submission period, 65 entries had been submitted.[2][3] On 16 February 1992, in the CyBC studios, a 16-member jury listened to the received submissions and chose eight songs to compete in the national final.[2][3] The selection was done in three stages: first the songs were listened to and the invalid entries were taken out of the contest; then the jury voted and selected 20 entries; and from those 20 entries, the eight competing entries for the national final were selected.[4]

Final

[edit]

The final was broadcast live at 21:00 EET on RIK on 13 March in a show titled Epilogí Kypriakís Symmetochís Gia To Diagonismó Tragoudioú Tis Giourovízion 1992 (Επιλογή Κυπριακής Συμμετοχής Για Το Διαγωνισμό Τραγουδιού Της Γιουροβίζιον 1992).[5] The contest was held at the International Conference Centre in Nicosia, and was hosted by Eirini Charalambidou.[5][6] The winner was decided by a 24-member jury who each gave out 10 points to their favourite song, 8 to their second favourite, and 6 through to 1 points for their third to eighth placing songs.[6] The jury was intended to have 26 members, consisting of the 16 jury members who chose the competing entries and ten members of the public, however the jury panel ended up only having 24 juries.[4][6][7]
