In this series we look at countries which aren’t participating in the Eurovision Song Contest anymore.
Bulgaria was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song “Love Unlimited” written by Yasen Kozev, Krum Georgiev and Doni Vasileva, and performed by Sofi Marinova. The Bulgarian participating broadcaster BNT organised a national final to select its entry. “Love Unlimited” performed by Sofi Marinova emerged as the winning entry following the combination of votes from a 24-member jury panel and a public televote.
Bulgaria was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing during the show in position 8, “Love Unlimited” was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Bulgaria placed eleventh out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 45 points.
