During the 18th “Days of Challenges” will be held the awarding of the best huts and shelters in Bulgaria, selected by voting of the huts.360mag.bg.

In addition to the winners in all eight categories, the winning projects in the funding programmes of the Hut of the Year campaign will be announced during the awards ceremony. A conference on “How to make Bulgarian huts and shelters better” will be held for all hut and shelter owners.
