One more time the More Honors Academy gathered AUBG students, professors and alumni in the Skaptopara Sports Hall to award the nominees in their respective categories.  There were 14 awards given at the 18th annual ceremony for 13 categories plus the Lifetime Achievement Award, each accompanied with a video. Dessislava Doytcheva and Hristo Popov were the hosts of this year's show. The winners are: [caption id="attachment_27850" align="alignright" width="304"]The More Honors Academy members.

When I won, it was actually cool only because of the noise that my friends and other students made when my name was called. I think that’s the most important moment. On the stage, it was awkward because I prepared nothing and the atmosphere was awkward, not funny.” First-year student Diana Elagina said, “I attended More Honors for the first time, and I was looking forward to attend this event. Although we have waited for almost an hour outside, I liked the beginning. It was very interesting to watch some episodes from previous years, and the first nomination set up a good atmosphere for the show. However, in my opinion, many jokes that were said about students and the University in general did not sound appropriate and the event as a whole didn't leave a good impression on me.” [caption id="attachment_27849" align="alignright" width="302"]Vlad Muntean receiving the Future Leader award.

I have to admit that the lights and sound were nicely done. It is, however, the content, and not the presentation, that still suffers. This year's nominations and people nominated mostly didn't impress me. Overall, I had a good laugh, but didn't carry much home with me from it."
