In each of the two semi-finals, a public vote will determine seven songs that will progress to the Sing for Greece – Ellinikós Telikós final.

At the 14-song final, the winner will be decided by a combination of a public vote (50%), a Greek jury (25%) and an international jury (25%).

The champion tune will represent Greece at Vienna 2026!

The winner of the 2025 edition of Ellinikós Telikós was Asteromáta performed by Klavdia.

At the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Klavdia took the epic ballad to the Grand Final, where it earned a sixth-place finish for Greece.
