The grand prize was presented by Bulgaria’s Vice President Iliana Iotova. The radio host couldn't hide her excitement that the prestigious award was given to a program dedicated to traditional culture. ''The Bulgarian folk music on this show is not just folk music. It is national psychology. It is the lifestyle and soul of our people. It is our flesh and blood. This music not only connects, but also builds a vast network of BNR listeners", said Tsveti Radeva.

The ''Radio Journalism'' award went to Georgi Yanakiev from Radio Burgas for outstanding journalistic presence.
