Junior Eurovision Song Contest

BNT will once again enable Bulgarians around the world and in our country to become involved in the manifestation of our children's talents at the prestigious Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021. The public television will broadcast the grand finale from Paris on December 19.

Bulgaria withdrew from Junior Eurovision in 2017 following an election for the Director General of the broadcaster and has yet to return. Unfortunately, a tweet by BNT hints that a return may not be imminent.

Not a priority to return

Responding to a Twitter user inquiring about their Junior Eurovision participation, BNT said that at the moment 

Malta won the the thirteenth edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, which was held at the Arena Armeec hall in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia on Saturday evening.

Destiny Chukunyere performing the song "Not My Soul!" won with 185 points, finishing nine points ahead of the second-placed Armenia.

The postponed Opening Ceremony of Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015 will take place this Tuesday in Bulgaria's capital Sofia, after having been postponed over the Paris attacks of last week.

The event will be held at the Bulgarian National Palace of Culture (NDK) in Sofia at 19:30 (local time).

Bulgarian public TV broadcaster BNT, host of this year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest, has postponed the Opening Ceremony to next week to honour the three days of mourning in France called over the deadly attacks in Paris.

Twelve-year-old Bulgarian singer, Gabriela Yordanova, who will be representing Bulgaria at this year's edition of the Junior Eurovision after winning the national selection in September, officially presented her song on Sunday.

The song is entitled "Cvetat na Nadejdata" ("The Colour of Hope") and the lyrics were co-written by Gabriela and poet Ivaylo Valchev.

#Discover is the name of this year's Junior Eurovision anthem, organizers from the Bulgarian National Television announced less than two months before the contest takes place in Sofia.

Gabriela Yordanova, 12, will sing for Bulgaria at the Junior Eurovision song contest this November.

Yordanova was picked on Tuesday evening by both the jury and viewers who voted by sending text messages.

Bulgaria came second in last year's junior contest, but the winner Italy declined to host the 2015 edition and Sofia was offered the opportunity to organize it.
