Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest 1989
The Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) opened a submission period for Cypriot artists and composers to submit songs until 7 January 1989.[6] Marios Meletiou had an agreement with the singer of the recording of "Apopse as vrethoume" that was submitted to the internal selection that they would remain anonymous.[3] Shortly after the internal selection, Marios Meletiou entered discussions with CyBC to find a suitable performer of "Apopse as vrethoume" for the Eurovision Song Contest 1989.[11][12] On 27 March 1989, a committee at CyBC listened to recordings of several candidate artists and selected Fanny Polymeri and Yiannis Savvidakis as the singers of "Apopse as vrethoume".[12] On the night of the final Fanny Polymeri and Yiannis Savvidakis performed seventeenth in the running order, following Spain and preceding Switzerland.
