The 13th edition of the Night of the Stars show, organized by the Encho Keryazov Foundation and dedicated to the talented children of Bulgaria, took place in Sofia. 

During the event, the annual awards in the fields of "Sport", "Education" and "Art" were presented, and all finalists received cash prizes, BTA reported. 

The Bulgarian Head of State Rumen Radev awarded the Presidential Badge of Honour to sisters Michelle and Nicole Kolev for their remarkable successes on the world circus stage. This year, the Kolev sisters were honored at the Monte Carlo International Circus Festival with the Golden Clown Award for a unique circus act. 

"It is an honour and a great pleasure for me to award these two incredible girls, artists and fighters, who have conquered the world stage and carry in their hearts a piece of the strength of the Bulgarian spirit and traditions," President Radev said.
