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.[3]
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".
