On February 16th, 2019 we celebrated the achievements of this year’s winners and their teachers at the American University in Blagoevgrad. All participants had the opportunity to visit the university campus and ask questions about academic and student life. The students participated in a creative writing workshop facilitated by Michael Cohen – Associate Professor at AUBG. The teachers took part in a session focusing on flash fiction led by Oliver Steel – Head of Teaching Centre at British Council.
The award ceremony itself was a true celebration of creativity. During the course of the evening we presented all winning works and had the opportunity to meet the young writers, their teachers and parents. We had a guest performance by the AUBG Musical “Hair”. Two of this year’s winners also performed during the ceremony. Our partners from MMTV arranged for Orlin Pavlov – a famous Bulgarian singer, to record a video and greet all of this year’s winners.The students and their teachers received prizes provided by CORPluS Foundation, US Embassy, British Council, Elizabeth Kostova Foundation, American University in Bulgaria, Klett and Express Publishing, and Mondelez.
