24 January 2026, on the stage of the Music Theatre, 7:00 PM
The Margarita Arnaudova Competition is the first Bulgarian competition for contemporary choreography and, with its 12th edition, marks its 30th anniversary.
The Margarita Arnaudova Memorial Award is presented to a young choreographer by the audience. It is a sign of respect toward the spectator for their engagement with and response to the impact of the performance. This reflects the ideal goal of the founder of the award, Academician Kalina Bogoeva. A prize by the professional jury is also awarded.
The specificity of this competition is defined by the exceptional place and importance of contemporary Bulgarian music within it.
In 2007, the competition became international, alternating between international and national editions.
