The Tied Key anti-award for an absurd administrative practice on an access to information request was given to the Municipality of Pazardzhik.  The mayor not only refused access to information, lost the case at two court instancs and had to be reminded to provide the requested information afterwards, but he demanded the amount of 3,312.54 BGN (1,700 Euro) to copy 36,806 pages which were not the subject of the request after all.

AIP coordinator in Pazardzhik, Tina Ivailova, will take the anti-award to the winner - the Mayor of the Municipality of Pazardzhik.
