The nominees are national basketball player Aleksandar Vezenkov, who plays in the National Basketball Association, writer Georgi Gospodinov, whose novel "Time Shelter" became the first Bulgarian book to win the prestigious Booker Prize for Literature, and Raycho Raychev - the founder of a Bulgarian company for the development of high-tech and aerospace projects, which in early 2023 launched its own satellite on board SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
