In an exciting turn of events for Eurovision fans, the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) has announced the return of a televised national final to select Greece’s Eurovision representative for 2025. The news was confirmed by ERT’s managing director, Katerina Kaskanioti, during the broadcaster’s official program presentation today, marking a significant shift from the internal selection process used in recent years.

A Return to Tradition

Greece has a long and storied history of selecting its Eurovision entries through national finals. This method allowed fans to be more directly involved in the process, offering them the opportunity to actively support their favorite acts before sending them off to represent the country on the international stage. However, in recent years, ERT opted for internal selections, which received mixed reactions from Eurovision enthusiasts. With the decision to revive the national final, ERT is responding to calls from fans for greater transparency and engagement.
