Before Eurovision

National final

The final took place on 16 February 2000 at the Nea Leoforos Nightclub in Limassol, hosted by Loukas Hamatsos. 11 songs competed with the winning song chosen solely by an "expert" jury, which included Eurovision 1999 winner Charlotte Nilsson and Lina Kawar who was a backing singer for Cyprus in Eurovision 1997 and 1999.[1][2]

At Eurovision

"Nomiza" was performed eleventh on the night (following Belgium's Nathalie Sorce with "Envie de vivre" and preceding Iceland's August & Telma with "Tell Me!"). At the close of voting, it had received 8 points, placing 21st in a field of 24.

Due to poor results, Cyprus was not permitted to take part in the 2001 Contest; however, they were re-admitted for the following year. Thus, the song was succeeded as Cypriot representative at the 2002 Contest by One with "Gimme".
