Semi-final
The semi-final took place on 17 September 2011. Fifteen songs competed and the top ten entries as determined by the jury panel advanced to the final.[1]
The final took place on 2 October 2011. Ten songs consisting of the ten semi-final winners competed and the winner was determined by a 50/50 combination of points awarded by SMS voting and the jury panel.[2]
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Bulgaria and awarded by Bulgaria in the final.
