[edit]National final
[edit]The final was held on 14 March 1995 at the Monte Caputo Nightclub in Limassol, hosted by Yiorgos Theofanous and Evridiki. The winner was chosen by a 20-member jury.[1][2]
Eight entries were originally chosen for the national final, however "Mia vrochi" set to be sung by Bessy Argyraki was withdrawn by its composer Rodoulas Papalamprianou as the CyBC refused to provide the names of its 20-member jury.[2]
