It is with great pleasure that we announce the winners of the 2012 Sozopol Fiction Seminars Fellowship on behalf of the Bulgarian and the native-English language speaking juries. The field of hundred fifthy-six submissions included many fine candidates, and narrowing the list involved much deliberation and care. We strongly encourage interested applicants to re-apply for future seminars.
