Corresponding member Alek Popov was awarded the National Prize for Humour and Satire “Rayko Alexiev”

At an official ceremony in “Stanislav Dospevski” Art Gallery in Pazardzhik, the "Rayko Alexiev" National Prize for Humour and Satire and the prizes in the accompanying competition for local authors were awarded.
