Despite being one of the favourites to win the contest, it finished second with 147 points.

Internal selection

On 25 July 2014 the Bulgarian news source Novini.bg stated that Bulgaria would return to the contest with Krisia Todorova singing and Hasan & Ibrahim playing the piano.[3] Despite originally being considered speculation, the next day the Bulgarian broadcaster revealed that Todorova would actually represent Bulgaria in the 2014 contest.[1] The EBU confirmed this news a week later.[2] On 9 October Todorova presented her Junior Eurovision entry "Planet of the Children" live on Slavi's Show on bTV.
