The Golden Key Award for the most efficient use of the Access to Public Information Act by a journalist was presented to Ms. Doroteya Dachkova from the Sega Daily. She has actively used the APIA for a number of publications dealing with issues of great public interest. With the help of the APIA, she has obtained information about the process of pardoning carried out by the former President and has published extensively on the topic. Ms. Dachkova was also leading in the investigation of the sources of endowments to the Ministry of Interior (MoI) in 2011. Her use of the APIA to obtain information in that case and extensive media campaign resulted in ceasing the practices of private persons and companies making endowments to the MoI and in launching an online register of the donors. In 2013, Ms. Dachkova uses the APIA to obtain information about the number of delayed cases in the Sofia City Court, the names of the judges hearing the cases and the grounds for the delay. With the help of AIP, Ms. Dachkova challenged the refusal of the Chairperson of the court and published in the press.

In 2013 again, the Cantek company kindly provided a present for the winner in the category. Ms. Doroteya Dachkova received an All-in-one printer PIXMA MG3150. 

Interview (in Bulgarian) with Ms. Dachkova was published in AIP Monthly FOI Newsletter for September 2013: Fighting for Court's Transparency in Court Speaks of Itself.

An Honorary Diploma for 2013 was given to Mr. Konstantin Karadzhov from the bTV for the media campaign and for the series of reportages and broadcasts that he has prepared and taken part in, related to the accountability of the work and the expenses made by the government Avio Squad 28. AIP assisted litigation started by Mr. Karadzhov revealed that there was no established procedure for record management of government requests for using the Avio Squad 28. The topic was widely covered by other media as well. The extensive media campaign was one of the reasons for the establishment of an Ad-hoc Parliamentary Committee to check up all data, facts and circumstances concerning the use of the government Avio Squad 28 and the aircrafts of the Ministry of Defense for the period of the previous government (August 2009 – March 2013). Also, a register of the requests for using the government Avio Squad was established with an Order by the Chief Secretary of the Council of Ministers. 

An Honorary Diploma was also given to Mr. Pavlin Ivanov from the web portal Lovech Today for his active journalistic position on a range of topics of public interest related to the work of the local authorities in Lovech – the municipality, the municipal companies and the Municipal Council. With the help of the APIA, Mr. Pavlin Ivanov has investigated the amount of the remunerations received by municipal officials for their work under EU funded projects and the way by which municipal companies spend their budgets. The information he has obtained under the APIA is revealed to the public by publications in the portal www.lovechtoday.eu. In 2013, with the help of AIP, Mr. Ivanov initiated two court cases against refusals of access to information.
