The Chair of the Bulgarian Actors Union, Hristo Mutafchiev, who suffered a stroke at the end of October last year, enters the contest for the first time. He prompted the people's admiration by finding the strength to return to the stage this year even though not fully recovered and even wrote a book to help people who are going through the same ordeal.
The top runners have been nominated by journalists from Sofia and around the country.
The "Man of the Year" contest is marking this year its 21th anniversary while Darik radio organizes it for the fourth time in a row.
