Internal selection

Artists and composers were able to submit their entries to CyBC between 8 January 2003 and 20 January 2003. Artists from any nationality were able to submit entries, however all composers were required to have Cypriot nationality.[1] At the conclusion of the deadline, 40 entries were received by CyBC. On 11 February 2003, the broadcaster announced that a three-member selection committee had internally selected "Feeling Alive" performed by Stelios Constantas to represent Cyprus in Riga.[2] The selection committee consisted of Evi Droutsa (lyricist), Lia Vissi (Cypriot Eurovision representative in 1985) and Marios Skordis (Head of Delegation for Cyprus at Eurovision).[3]
