Ellinikós Telikós

Ellinikós Telikós (Greek: Ελληνικός Τελικός, lit. 'Greek Final') is a song contest which takes place every year in Athens, Greece to decide the artist who would represent Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest. The contest started in 1979, when Elpida took the title. Over the years, the contest took place in various venues, from TV studios to concert halls. The most famous winners include Helena Paparizou, Kalomira, Sakis Rouvas, Anna Vissi, and Katy Garbi.

In 2018, two of the top three competing artists were disqualified because their recording labels refused to pay a €20,000 fee to the Greek broadcaster Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT). Yianna Terzi, the only remaining artist, was chosen for Eurovision 2018 and the future of Ellinikós Telikós became uncertain.
