Bulgaria participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015, as the host country, after Italy who had won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014, declined the invitation from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to host the contest. The event took place at the Arena Armeec on 21 November 2015. National broadcasters Bulgarian National Television (BNT) and bTV jointly organised the national selection process, in order to decide who would represent them on home soil.
Submissions for the national selection shows opened in July 2015, for singers aged between 10-15. A professional jury of members from the music industry, selected the best entries to proceed forward to a non-televised auditions event that took place in August 2015. Twenty-four artists were chosen to participate in one of four semi-finals, which were broadcast live between 31 August to 3 September 2015. Jury members selected two artists from each of the four semi-finals, whilst the remaining artist from each semi-final was determined by a public televote.
The twelve chosen artists from the semi-finals, advanced into the grand final which was scheduled to take place on 8 September 2015. The winning participant was selected by a 50/50 combination of both telephone vote and the votes of jury members made up of music professionals. Gabriela Yordanova represented Bulgaria in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015. The song that she performed at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest is "Colour of Hope" and she was accompanied by the runner-up of the election, Ivan Stoyanov.
Bulgaria finished 9th in the final with 62 points.
Following Italy's win at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014, the European Broadcasting Union had given the Italian broadcaster RAI the first refusal to host the 2015 contest. However, on 15 January 2015, RAI declined the right to host the contest. The Executive Supervisor for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, Vladislav Yakovlev, praised the Italian broadcaster RAI for their time looking into the possibilities of hosting, even though they made their début appearance in 2014, and further explained how the EBU were in a lucky position to have received bids from two countries.
