For the Pride Yagredin Music Festival the rules are as it follows. Either the singer is some sort of a member of the LGBT community or the song has to be about the same theme. Also a very theme specific video could lead to an allowance.

The age does not matter at any point. Songs from the J/ESC national finals are fine. Not allowed are J/ESC songs itself and songs that already took part in the YMF main event.

The songs are checked by a certain commision, which discuss the acceptability of each song.
