Cyprus in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest
Back in 2003, Cyprus made their debut in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. After a difficult debut, placing 14th with Theodora Rafti’s ‘Mia efhi‘, the Mediterranean island remained undeterred and achieved three top 10 placements over the next six years. Their best result came in 2004 with Marios Tofi’s ‘Oneira‘ which placed in eighth and earned 61 points.
Following an extended break, Cyprus returned to the contest for three more years, before withdrawing once again on the back of poor results for the broadcaster. This included their one and only last place result for Nicole Nicolaou’s ‘I Wanna Be A Star‘ in 2017. Cyprus returned to the competition again in 2024. Last year Cyprus selected Rafaella and Christos, with ‘Away’ which placed 16th and earned a total of 50 points.
