To promote "Zari" as the Greek entry, a music video for the song was created and the year's participation was sponsored by Eurojackpot through the local gambling operator OPAP. Greece was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2024; it was later selected to perform in position 3. At the end of the show, "Zari" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and hence qualified to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Greece placed fifth out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 86 points. In the final, Greece performed in position 12 and placed 11th out of the 25 performing countries, scoring a total of 126 points.

Background

Prior to the 2024 contest, Greece had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 43 times since its debut in 1974. [1] The nation has won the contest once to this point, in 2005 with the song "My Number One" performed by Helena Paparizou. Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004 contest, Greece managed to qualify for the final with each of its entries for several years. Between 2004 and 2013, the nation achieved nine top ten placements in the final. The first entry to not qualify to the final was "Utopian Land" performed by Argo in 2016. Its 16th-place finish in the semi-final marked Greece's worst placing at the contest and led to its absence from the final for the first time since 2000, when it did not send an entry. In the 2018 contest, Greece failed to qualify for the second time with Yianna Terzi and the song " Oniro mou ", finishing 14th in the semi-final. After three consecutive contests when it qualified for the final, Victor Vernicos with "What They Say" failed to qualify to the 2023 final, finishing 13th in the semi-final. [1]

As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. [2] ERT predecessor, National Radio Television Foundation (EIRT) debuted in the contest in 1974 and then ERT participated from 1975 until 2013, when the broadcaster was shut down by a government directive. It was replaced firstly with the interim Dimosia Tileorasi (DT) and then later by the New Hellenic Radio, Internet and Television (NERIT) broadcaster, [2] [3] [4] [5] before reverting to the ERT name by the new government in June 2015. [6] [7] The Greek broadcaster had selected its entries in the past both internally and through the national final format Ellinikós Telikós (most recently held in 2017). ERT confirmed its intention to participate in the 2024 contest on 15 September 2023. [8]

Before Eurovision

Internal selection

Marina Satti was internally selected by ERT as the Greek entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

On 24 October 2023, ERT announced they had carried out an internal selection for its entry, revealing on the TV show Studio 4 that Marina Satti had been chosen. [9] [10] To determine Satti's song, a submission window for interested composers was opened on 25 October 2023, [9] and closed on 1 December 2023. At the closing of the window, 150 songs had been submitted to ERT. [11] Satti's record label Minos EMI revealed shortly after that they had already started preparations for her entry with ERT and Golden Records. [12]

The Greek-language song, titled " Zari " meaning "dice", was released on 7 March 2024 during the special presentation show Eurovisionse eidon ("Eurovision in sight"), airing on ERT1 and hosted by Fotis Sergoulopoulos  [ el ] and Jenny Melita. [13] [14] [15] "Zari" was composed by Gino the Ghost, Jay Stolar, Jordan Palmer, Kay Be, Nick Kodonas, OGE and Satti, with lyrics by OGE, Satti, Solmeister and Vlospa. [16]

Promotion

To promote the entry, an accompanying music video premiered on the same day as the song's release. It was filmed in various landmarks around Greece, including the Acropolis, Plaka, Monastiraki, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Omonoia, Mount Lycabettus, Rafina and the Athens International Airport. [17] [18] The music video features Satti along with Scott "the American", a longtime American fan of Satti who had previously appeared in several tourism advertisements for Greece. [19] [20] In the video, Scott acts as an Australian tourist [21] while Satti represents a Greek tour guide. [22]

The Greek participation in the contest was sponsored by Eurojackpot through the local gambling operator OPAP. [23] [24] The company organised a public "farewell party" in Voula on 24 April 2024, where Satti met with fans prior to her departure for Malmö. [25]

Voting controversy

In mid-April 2024, Greek newspaper Ta Nea reported that as early as 22 February the Cypriot ambassador to Greece Stavros Avgoustidis had been informed that ERT would assign Cyprus a predetermined low score in the jury voting of the final; this was before the release of "Liar" and reportedly before the Greek jury was even established. [26] [27] As a response, ERT president Konstantinos Zoulas denied any involvement of the broadcaster in the jury vote, [26] [28] while Cypriot broadcaster CyBC's head of press for the contest Andreas Anastasiou addressed the matter on a TV broadcast on 15 April, denouncing that the alleged behaviour would constitute a breach of the contest's rules and announcing that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) had been informed of the controversy. [26] [27] [29] The Greek jury eventually ranked Cyprus in second in the final, resulting in Greece awarding 10 points to the nation's entry. [30]

At Eurovision

The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progressed to the final. On 30 January 2024, an allocation draw was held to determine which of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show, each country would perform in; the EBU split up the competing countries into different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. [31] Greece was scheduled for the first half of the second semi-final. [32] The draw, broadcast live on the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel, was also aired by ERT via its streaming platform ERTflix. [33] The shows' producers then decided the running order for the semi-finals; Greece was set to perform in position 3. [34]

In Greece, all shows were aired on ERT1, with commentary provided by Thanasis Alevras  [ el ] and Jérôme Kaluta  [ el ], as well as on the radio station Second Programme, with commentary provided by Dimitris Meidanis. [35] [36] The televised shows were preceded by a special Eurovision Night broadcast, hosted by Jenny Melita. [37]

Greece performed in position 3, following the entry from Albania and before the entry from Switzerland. [34] At the end of the show, the country was announced as a qualifier for the final. It was later revealed that Greece placed fifth out of the 16 participating countries in the second semi-final with 86 points. [44]

Following the semi-final, Greece was drawn to perform in the first half of the final, [45] and performed in position 12, following the entry from Latvia and before the entry from the United Kingdom. [46] Marina Satti once again took part in dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May before the final, [39] including the jury final where the professional juries cast their final votes before the live show on 11 May. She performed a repeat of her semi-final performance during the final on 11 May. Greece placed 11th in the final, scoring 126 points; 85 points from the public televoting and 41 points from the juries. [30] According to Nielsen, the final's broadcast was watched by 2,806,000 viewers (68.1%) in Greece, with 4,874,000 viewers having watched for at least one minute. [47]

Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding sets of points from 1–8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting in the final vote, while the semi-final vote was based entirely on the vote of the public. [48] The Greek jury consisted of Panagiotis Biniaris, Georgia Fotou, Vasiliki Karatzoglou, Stamatina Kostiani, and Anastasios Rosopoulos.
