Competing entries

The Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) opened a submission period for Cypriot artists and composers to submit songs until 20 January 1990.[1] By the end of the submission period, over 85 entries had been submitted.[2][3] On 15 February 1990, in radio room 1 at CyBC, a 17-member jury panel listened to the songs and selected the competing entries.[4][5] 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 ten competing entries for the national final were selected.[5]
