Six Bulgarians have been nominated to run for this year's John Atanasoff Award. It was set up last October for special achievements in the field of computer engineering, and named after the Bulgaria-descended man who invented the computer.
The ceremony for handing the prize will take place on October 4.
The John Atanasoff Award was founded last year, and presented for the first time by President Georgi Parvanov.
John Atanasoff, who is son of a Bulgarian immigrant from Bulgaria's village of Boyadjik in the Yambol Region, built the world's first electronic digital computer at US Iowa State University during 1937-42 together with his assistant Clifford Berry.
Their creation incorporated several major innovations in computing including the use of binary arithmetic, regenerative memory, parallel processing and separation of memory and computing functions.
