Before Eurovision
Internal selection
The Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) opened a submission period for Cypriot artists and composers to submit songs from 16 November 1982 until 22 January 1983. Each artist or composer were only allowed to submit up to two entries each.[1] By the end of the submission period, CyBC had received 22 entries.[2] The internal selection took place on 23 February 1983 and the results were decided by an 11-member jury.[2]
Stavros Siders was the sole singer on the recording of "I agapi akoma zi" which participated in the internal selection.[3] However, the song was later changed to be a duet together with singer Dina Constantina.[4]
