Pesen na Evrovizija 2007 was the national final format developed by BNT in order to select Bulgaria’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. The competition consisted of a semi-final and a final on 3 and 24 February 2007 respectively. Both shows took place at the National Palace of Culture in Sofia, hosted by Dragomir Simeonov and Iva Doichinova.

Format

The competition consisted of a semi-final on 3 February 2007 and a final on 24 February 2007. Eighteen songs competed in the semi-final and the top nine qualified by the votes of an expert jury. Twelve songs consisting of the nine semi-final qualifiers alongside three pre-qualified finalists competed in the final, where public televoting determined the winner.

Competing entries

Artists and songwriters were able to submit their entries until 12 January 2007. From all songs submitted to BNT, an expert committee selected eighteen songs for the competition. The list of competing artists and songs were released on 14 January 2007. After the list was released, Una Healy and Orlin Goranov withdrew from the competition, while Pippo and Sasheto were disqualified. As a result of this, Toni Dimitrova and Goresch Pyasak, Galin Raichev, and Dimitar Atanasov participated in the national final instead.
