#### Competing entries

The Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) opened a submission period for Cypriot artists and composers to submit songs until 20 January 1990. By the end of the submission period, over 85 entries had been submitted. On 15 February 1990, in radio room 1 at CyBC, a 17-member jury panel listened to the songs and selected the competing entries. The selection was done in three stages: first the songs were listened to and the invalid entries were taken out of the contest; then the jury voted and selected 20 entries; and from those 20 entries, the ten competing entries for the national final were selected.
