"We, at Neterra.TV, are extremely grateful that we have been chosen to partner in such a big event. Despite the differences in each region, folklore has proven to unite people around the world, " said Emil Stoynovski, product manager at Neterra.TV.
At the championship, there will be more than 100 groups with over 2,000 participants, coming from over 40 countries. They will compete in 9 categories and in two age groups during the 7 competitive concerts in Sveti Vlas, Pomorie, Nessebar, Burgas and Obzor. The best teams will receive medals, and the winner will also receive a 1000-euro cash prize. The organizers will also award the Golden Orpheus Award for an Absolute World Champion of Folklore.
