The theme this year is “The Olympic Games in painting and drawing: From ancient Greece to the modern games... sporting prowess to shared values”, the Bulgarian news agency BTA reports. The highest distinction, the UNESCO prize went to 13-year old Plamena Zaharieva who has been studying online for two years. “Nominated author” went to 7-year old Aristeides Siampras, who lives in Greece and also studies online.  Alexander Petrov (10), Pavel Simeonov (10) and Lilia Yankova (13) were distinguished in the “selected author” category.
