"CIVIC ALARM CLOCK" is an annual competition for socially engaged art - an initiative of the Bulgarian Center for Non-Profit Law. In 2020, we held the competition for the third year in a row because we believe in the power of art to bring about social change. Through it we support the vigilant and socially engaged authors, who with their talent, creative energy and artistic spirit tell us about our human and civil rights and freedoms.

In this year's competition 114 authors participated with 226 works - each with a glance at our civil rights and freedoms during the pandemic situation in Bulgaria and the imposed restrictive measures to combat COVID-19.

 

The professionals took on the difficult task of awarding the best works …

We will see plots from the time of pandemic, captured in the photographs, illustrations and texts of the distinguished authors. Each of the works sends different messages about the right of association, the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of speech - the rights through which we can (wake up) and unite.

Triple E.Y.E Project in the face of journalists and treasure hunters - Iva Doichinova, Elena Rosberg and Evelina Pavlova - will take the lead and provoke us for discussion. And not only...

A special participation in the program will take an actor from ATOM THEATER, who will perform his latest dance miniature "TRAP".
