In the years that followed, there were several attempts to change the anthem.
In January 2000, the Government of the Republic of Mari El announced a competition for the creation of a new anthem.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Постановление Правительства Республики Марий Эл от 13.01.2000 № 10 «О республиканском конкурсе по созданию Государственного гимна Республики Марий Эл» |url=http://mariel.news-city.info/docs/sistemsq/dok_ieqgdz.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304224624/http://mariel.news-city.info/docs/sistemsq/dok_ieqgdz.htm |archive-date=2016-03-04 |access-date=2023-01-25 |website=Портал mariel.news-city.info}}</ref> At the first stage, it was proposed to consider recognised works of Mari composers, as well as works by contemporary composers written specifically for the competition. At the second stage, it was proposed to choose the text of the anthem. The resolution stated that the competition was held in connection with the appeal of the public of the republic about the need to change the existing anthem.
In February 2007, a second competition was announced.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Постановление Правительства Республики Марий Эл от 06.02.2007 № 28 «О республиканском конкурсе по созданию Государственного гимна Республики Марий Эл» |url=http://www.mariel-gov.ru/doc/3395 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304071536/http://www.mariel-gov.ru/doc/3395 |archive-date=2016-03-04 |access-date=2023-01-25 |website=Архив документов Республики Марий Эл}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-03-14 |title=В Марийской Республике вновь озаботились государственными символами |url=http://www.novayagazeta.ru/news/9657.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304120035/http://www.novayagazeta.ru/news/9657.html |archive-date=2016-03-04 |website=Новая газета}}</ref> Unlike the previous competition, in the first round it was allowed to present music with text in one of the state languages of the Republic of Mari El (creative collaboration between composer and poet was encouraged).
