That inaugural entry failed to make it out of the Semi-Finals, and it would take a further two attempts for the delegation to reach a first Grand Final which came thanks to Elitsa Todorova and Stoyan Yankoulov who took their entry Water to an impressive 5th place finish in Helsinki 2007.
Other Bulgarian successes include Kristian Kostov’s Beautiful Mess (runner-up in 2017) and Poli Genova’s 4th place hit If Love Was A Crime.
Poli also presented Junior Eurovision in 2015 when the Bulgarian broadcaster BNT hosted the Contest in the capital city Sofia.
