A total of 126 Bulgarian songs have applied for the chance of representing Bulgaria in the 51st edition of the Eurovision song contest.
Fears that after last year's scandals surrounding the contest's first edition in Bulgaria the number of participants may drop proved unfounded, as the songs are actually 22 more than in 2005.
A fifteen-member panel will vote to determine 24 out of the 126 songs that would reach the semifinals. The names of those songs will be announced at the website of the Bulgarian National Television (BNT) by February 4.
In the second round of the contest that will take place February 25, all 24 songs will be selected by the panel in a live TV and Radio emission of a concert in the National Palace of Culture. Based on the quality showed in the live performance, the jury will bring down the number of songs to 12.
In the final round all 12 songs will be performed at a life concert on March 11 and the audience will have the last say.
Last year, the Bulgarian participation in the spectacle was marred by a vote-forging scandal.
The country's representative band, Kaffe, were accused by other Bulgarian contestants of generating sms votes through specially bought SIM cards. The scandal broke during the live gala concert in Sofia when the winners were announced.
