During their first two decades of participation, the Cypriots finished in the top 10 on seven different occasions, cementing the island nation's love of the competition.
Their most successful artist so far has been Eleni Foureira who took her fiery dance floor anthem Fuego to the dizzying heights of second place at Lisbon 2018 and has appeared as a special guest at the Contests in 2019 and 2024.
While Cyprus has yet to win the Eurovision Song Contest broadcaster CyBC did host a memorable Junior Eurovision in Lemesos in 2008.
