A total of 24 songs will compete for the chance of representing Bulgaria in the 51st edition of the Eurovision song contest.
A fifteen-member panel voted to determine the 24 semifinalists out of the 126 songs, which applied for the contests. The names of those songs were announced at the website of the Bulgarian National Television (BNT).
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.
