according to the new Cypriot HoD Andreas Anastasiou, Cyprus will send a cypriot singer for the first time in many years again

hoping Armenia will give us a quirky ethnic banger


not Athena Manoukian pls, she can't sing that well and i don't think armenia wants to return with a possible flop



Martin Mkrtchyan or Mavr Mkrtchyan might be nice, either one of those guys for sure are vocally better than Athena too

might also be a chance that Cyprus is going for one of George Michael's unreleased songs

for some male greek singer


that or a cypriot composer with new work (for first time in many years again)

Croatia: entry period opens for Dora2022, 14 acts to compete in february grand final

There are a few changes for the 2022 edition of DORA. The Eurovision maximum of six performers are now allowed in each performance. For DORA 2021, pandemic precautions meant that the maximum was reduced to no more five performers.

The winner isn’t able to make any major revamps of their entry. The version of the song that wins DORA will be the version that goes to Eurovision. Only minor changes will be allowed, and then only with permission of the broadcaster.

Entrants must be Croatian citizens. Songs can either in Croatian or another “European language”

The competition entries will be assessed by an expert jury who will then pick the 14 grand finalists, as well as four reserves. The rules note that the jury’s criteria will be “artistic value with an emphasis on quality music and lyrics and the whole work”.
