North Vision Song of the Year[]
The North Vision Song of the Year (also known simply as Song of the Year) is the annual award show held to honor the best song from the editions that were held during the respective year. One Greek entry made it to the top 50 of 2016. Since 2016 a Greek entry made it again in 2019, this time two songs. In 2020 all four entries Greece sent to the competition were nominated for the Song of the Year. One managed to make it to top 30, two to top 20, while one entry managed to make it to top 10, finishing in 8th place, thus far the highest a Greek entry has ever gotten in Song of the Year. In 2021 none of the Greek entries managed to advance to the next stage of the awards, making the first absence since 2018. In 2022 one of the two Greek entries managed to make it through the top 10 of the awards.
