Tolkien Bulgaria

The Bulgarian Tolkien Society was officially established in 1998 when the Bulgarian Tolkien Fan Club “Rin Ennor” was first registered as an non-profit non-governmental organization by a few students from the Sofia University.
Nowadays, the Tolkien Society is one of the largest fan organizations in Bulgaria with more then 250 regular members all over the country.
It is generally represented by this web site, two large discussion boards and by the Tolkien fan club "Rin Ennor".
Apart from the larger communities in the big cities, the Bulgarian Tolkien Society includes also a number of local clubs and groups.

We regularly organize various nationwide events, related to the life and works of J.R.R. Tolkien, including exhibitions, seminars, contests, discussions and workshops.
We take part in most of the national and international events related to fantasy and science fiction with lectures about Tolkien and his works.
We intensively popularize Tolkien's works in the media.
We created a unique project named "Online Tolkien University Armenelos", which aim is to provide education, promote and encourage research into Tolkien's life and works in many different aspects.
We have good relations with the Bulgarian translators of Tolkien's works, as well as with fellow literary societies and other groups in all fictional fields in the country.

This year we plan to start publishing an annual journal, which will include news, information about Tolkien and its fans in Bulgaria, articles and various activities by members of the Society.
We look for contacts with other Tolkien societies worldwide in order to establish regular and effective partnership for future projects and exchange.
We are working for the consolidation of all local Tolkien fan clubs and groups in the country, which will allow the Bulgarian Tolkien Society to be recognized by the public and the media as an integral part of the social and cultural life in the country.
Publication of still unpublished Tolkien works in Bulgarian (The Letters of JRR Tolkien, The History of Middle-Earth, etc.)
