Access to Information Programme will organize and hold the annual Right to Know Day Awards Ceremony in Bulgaria

The seventh annual Right to Know Day Awards Ceremony in Bulgaria will be held on September 28, 2009 at 10 a.m. in the National Press Center of the Bulgarian News Agency in Sofia (49 Tsarigradsko shose Blvd).

AIP collects nominations in all seven categories to recognize citizens, NGOs, and journalists who actively exercise their right of access to information and institutions which fulfill their obligations under the Access to Public Information Act.
AIP also gives negative awards to shame institutions which do not fulfill their obligations and violate citizens' access to information right.

28 September is celebrated as the International Right to Know Day since 2002, a date on which the International Freedom of Information Advocates Network (FOIA Network) was established. Access to Information Programme is a co-founder and a member of the FOIAnet.
