BNR launches the 53rd edition of the "Spring" song contest. The regulation has been updated. Songs must be new, not performed before and must not be published in the Internet. The authors be Bulgarian, as well as the lyrics. Each performer participates with one song. Proposals are accepted until May 23 on the site prolet.bnr.bg.

The members of the professional jury will evaluate the songs independently. The big prize in the competition is the realization of a song produced by the Bulgarian National Radio. There are also three special awards for Spring 22 - Listener's Award, Debut Award and participation in the Eurosonic Festival in Groningen, The Netherlands.
