Two more Greek Australian artists, Maree Mamalis and Vassy, have submitted entries to represent Greece at Eurovision 2025.
They join Leea Nanos as part of the top 60 contenders for Greece’s national final, which will be held on 29 January 2025. The winner will be selected through a combination of public voting (50%), a Greek jury (25%), and an international jury (25%).
Maree Mamalis, an 18-year-old Melbourne-based singer, gained recognition as a top 7 contestant on The Voice Australia in 2023 and performed at the AFL Grand Final with the Kiss Choir. Her entry for Eurovision features a contemporary sound infused with Greek elements, including the bouzouki.
Vassy (Vasiliki Karagiorgos), a globally successful singer-songwriter from Darwin in the Northern Territory, has collaborated with music heavyweights like David Guetta, Tiësto, and KSHMR, with her songs amassing billions of streams. She became the first woman to win an ICON Award at the 2023 Electronic Dance Music Awards.
Australia has a strong track record of Cypriot Australian artists participating in Eurovision, with Andrew Lambrou and Silia Kapsis representing Cyprus in recent years.
Greek broadcaster ERT will select up to 12 finalists for the January show, with broadcast details to be announced later.
