Eurovision 2012 - Vote for Sofi Marinova on May 24! Den tumaro glaso amare Romnjake i Sofi ko 24-to Mayo!
Sofi Marinova, a singer of Romani heritage from the town of Etropole in western Bulgaria, is representing her country in the Eurovision 2012 contest with the song “Love Unlimited.” She is the first Roma to represent Bulgaria in Eurovision and, if successful, she would be the first Roma to win the competition. On May 24, at 9:00 p.m. Central European Time, she will be performing in Semi-Final 2 of the contest.
Vote for Sofi and help her to become one of the ten finalists to proceed from Semi-Final 2 to the Grand Final on May 26. Viewers in the participating countries are invited to vote for their favorite songs by phone (“televoting”), which is implemented by the participating broadcasters. Information about how to vote in your country will be shown on-screen during the program.
Televoters like you will have a 50% say in who becomes a finalist. You are allowed to vote up to 20 times, but you cannot vote for your own country. So if you are not in Bulgaria, cast your votes for Sofi!
