Cyprus was represented by Anna Vissi, with the song "Mono i agapi", at the Eurovision Song Contest 1982, which took place on 24 April in Harrogate. The song was chosen after an internal selection organised by the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC).
CyBC opened a submission period for Cypriot artists and composers to submit songs until 23 January 1982.[1] Each artist or composer were only allowed to submit up to two entries each. By the end of the submission period, CyBC had received 29 entries, of which four were invalid.[2] The internal selection took place on 16 February 1982 and the results of the internal selection were decided by a 9-member jury.[3] The competition consisted of multiple stages and in the final stage of the internal selection, five songs remained and "Mono i agapi" by Anna Vissi was declared the winner.[4]
