Awards
In 1999 a special Apollo Toxophoros award was established for exceptional contribution to Bulgarian culture and its achievements abroad. The award became an annual event.
Apollo Toxophoros is a Roman replica (200 - 300 A.D.) of a 4th Century BC Greek statue. The bronze copy, made by Petar Krastev, has been granted to Apollonia by Ancient Europe International Foundation.
In 2010 the statuette of Apollo, the patron of music and poetry goes to the unique duo Elitsa Todorova and Stoyan Yankoulov for their achievements in Bulgaria and abroad.
