Bulgaria has crowned not one, but two Spelling Bee champions this year.

Notably, Anton revealed that his winning strategy involved spelling with his eyes closed, adding a unique twist to his victory.
In the younger age group, Ekaterina Basheva, also from Ruse, emerged victorious in a tense final showdown with Georgi Avramov from Varna. Ekaterina's impeccable spelling, particularly of the word "discipline," secured her the coveted championship title.
The Spelling Bee competition, now in its 14th year in Bulgaria, has become a hallmark event, drawing participants from across the country.
