Eurofest 2 was the second edition of the popular Belarusian national selection which is organizated to select Belarus's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged 31. For the first time the BTRC introduced the Semifinals where two songs struggled for a place in the Grand Final while one song was selected internally to qualify for that phase. The four finalist songs were presented to the juries in the final which was held in Minsk. The winner song was "Chasing Rushes".

==Incident==
Meseda was selected to participate in the Third Battle with her song "Peresecheniye". However she was disqualified by the BTRC because she doesn't have a strong bond with Belarus breaking the rules of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged. Finally Zøya was chosen to replace Meseda with the song "I Still Believe".
