Bulgarian public broadcaster BNT, along with eurovision-bg.com and OGAE Bulgaria are calling the Eurovision fans for help. The country seeks an answer to the question why Bulgaria only managed to qualify for the Eurovision final once since their debut in 2005.
The broadcaster and the fan sites promoting this initiative have prepared a special survey focused on the Bulgarian participation in the past and what should be changed in the future as well. The survey is also interested in the general taste of the Eurovision fans.
Bulgarian public broadcaster BNT confirmed the country’s participation in Eurovision 2013. With the fans’ help, they are looking to get back on track again after five years of consecutive failures.
