Anita Ekenova is one of the 20 nominated women for the Saint Zlata of Meglen Award in 2025. She lives in the French city of Lyon, where she organized the tenth edition of the travelling festival Une Ronde Autour du Monde in early June.

The Executive Agency for Bulgarians Abroad (EABA) said: “Anita is an inspiring figure in the cultural life of the Bulgarian diaspora. As president of the Ot Izvora Association, she works to preserve and promote Bulgarian folklore, traditions and art, creating strong international institutional partnerships.”

Ekenova was nominated by the Ot Izvora Cultural Association, the Association of Bulgarian Folklore Ensembles Abroad and an initiative committee.

In October, the EABA will present its annual Bulgarian Woman of the Year – Saint Zlata of Meglen Award. Twenty nominations have been received from 11 countries. BTA will present the nominees in a series of articles.
