High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Vick Foundation was established by Edward Vick (founder of EVS Translations) in February 2004 to award an annual prize for best Bulgarian novel. Vick`s initiative was acclaimed by those who saw in the prize a new opportunity for the Bulgarian literature after almost 15 years of standstill. There is also a competition for the most popular short-listed book, based on votes cast by the general public. In 2008, the award will celebrate its 5th year anniversary and the Foundation is on the path to becoming an instituition in Bulgaria.
