At Eurovision

"Nomiza" was performed eleventh on the night (following Belgium's Nathalie Sorce with "Envie de vivre" and preceding Iceland's August & Telma with "Tell Me!"). At the close of voting, it had received 8 points, placing 21st in a field of 24.

Due to poor results, Cyprus was not permitted to take part in the 2001 Contest; however, they were re-admitted for the following year. Thus, the song was succeeded as Cypriot representative at the 2002 Contest by One with "Gimme".

gollark: Sure, I don't see why not.
gollark: I'm sure that if Mojang *could* they'd get rid of chunks and have everything be loaded constantly. Unfortunately they can't.
gollark: It's like saying that render improvement mods are cheaty because low FPS is a part of the game.
gollark: I don't consider it cheaty to not have your stuff arbitrarily stop working if you go away.
gollark: Er, cheaty.
