Greece: Victor Vernicos to Eurovision 2023

Greece will be represented at Eurovision 2023 by their youngest ever representative, Victor Vernicos with the song "What They Say".

His song "What They Say" is written and produced by Victor himself more than a year ago. The song will be released at a later date.

Internal Selection


The last months, Greece has held an internal selection process with 106 songs submitted. The songs were shortlisted to just seven that were evaluated by two juries; a public jury (50.6% weight) and a professional jury (49.4% weight).

The public jury consisted of 70 members that were chosen by lottery and a process that ensured the immutability and age representativeness of the Eurovision audience. 25 members in the 18-24 age group, 20 members in the 25-34 age group, 15 members in the 35-44 age group and 10 members in the 45+ age group were drawn.

The two juries selected the final three songs:

A seven-member committee made by ERT chose the representative among the three.
