Marina Satti will represent Greece at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place in Malmö, Sweden, from May 7 to May 11, 2024. The acclaimed singer and songwriter joyfully accepted the proposal from ERT to represent the country in a symbolic year, as this year marks the 50th anniversary of Greece’s first participation in the Eurovision Song Contest.
The song that Marina will perform has not been chosen yet. Therefore, ERT and her record companies, Golden Records and Minos EMI, a Universal Music Company, and the singer herself, desire that the selection be open to everyone.
In this context, starting tomorrow, October 25, 2023, at the email eurovision2024@ert.gr, any composers who wish can submit their proposals for complete songs by December 1, 2023.
A press release has also been issued by ERT, which can be found here.
