Miss Bulgaria Final: Exciting Upgrades Ahead

The grand final of Miss Bulgaria is fast approaching, set to take place on January 15th, 2025, at the historic Military Club of Sofia. This iconic venue will host 24 exceptional contestants as they compete for the coveted crown.

One of the exciting prizes includes a role in a Hollywood film, as shared by Mr. Gael Bonnel Sanchez, who is leading the Miss Bulgaria beauty pageant.

Mr. Gaël Bonnel Sanchez, the visionary behind the transformation of Miss Bulgaria, has unveiled groundbreaking news ahead of this year’s event.
Among the highlights is the involvement of Mr. Sylvain Bonnet, his longtime partner and close friend, who is joining the Miss Bulgaria venture as an official associate.

Mr. Sylvain Bonnet is one of France’s top businessmen, having invested in more than 50 companies. He is also the founder of Beautysané and co-founder of the FoodTech group Eat For Good, a leading food-tech company in Europe that has sold over 1 billion meals since its creation. Since 2003, Beautysané has specialized in meal substitutes and dietary supplements, distributed via direct sales through a network of over 5,000 independent entrepreneurs across France and internationally. Mr. Sylvain Bonnet also serves as the Executive Secretary of the French Direct Selling Federation, Treasurer of the Luxembourg Direct Selling Association, and initiated the Trophées du Bien-être in 2015 to promote well-being initiatives. Last but not least, he is a member of the EuropaNova think tank and the strategic committee of the LinkSport investment fund from 123IM.

Sylvain is like family to me. He always supported me when I was a young, aspiring entrepreneur starting from the ground up and he played a key role in shaping who I am today. He is very important to me, my long-term partner, and as someone who values loyalty in friendship, it was only natural for me to invite him to join the official Miss Bulgaria venture. I’m thrilled that he accepted. Together, we will be stronger. Having someone who has invested in over 50 companies, sold more than 1 billion meals and cosmetics, and owned a historic French first-division basketball team, among other achievements, as a partner in Miss Bulgaria and more will undoubtedly elevate this pageant to new heights. He will be by my side for the final, officially marking the beginning of this new adventure together.

With Irina Papazova, we have a strong licensing partnership that will certainly lead to even deeper involvement in the future. I am also thankful for her trust.

Sylvain will also join me in my Hollywood Influence company, as we aim to shape the future of AI-driven cinema studios. I am immensely grateful to my partners at Nu Boyana Film Studios, particularly to Yariv Lerner and Shimon Sabbah, for their guidance and trust over the years. As a subsidiary of Millennium Media—the oldest Hollywood film company with over 400 films produced—Nu Boyana has provided me with invaluable experience and opportunities in the film industry. Now, with Sylvain, we are finalizing a Hollywood film set to wrap shooting next month, in which one of our Misses will have a small role alongside confirmed Hollywood actors. Additionally, we are embarking on an unprecedented project related to space—something never before attempted in the film industry, featuring A-list actors. You will hear about it in international media shortly. 2025 will be the year when all my dreams, built on hard work, come true. I encourage everyone to work hard toward their goals because everyone deserves to see their dreams fulfilled, said Mr. Gaël Bonnel Sanchez.

Adding to the excitement, the internationally acclaimed music group The Parakit will perform their global hits, including “Save Me” and “Dam-Dam,” live for the first time in Bulgaria during the final.

This year, Miss Bulgaria is reaching new heights with a complete transformation. Hosted at the prestigious Military Club of Sofia, renowned for its legendary performances and cultural significance, the event promises to blend timeless elegance with modern innovation. The grand stage will provide the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening, combining tradition with contemporary flair.

Some of the contestants will also have the opportunity to secure small roles in the upcoming Hollywood film produced by the dynamic duo, Mr. Gaël Bonnel Sanchez and Mr. Sylvain Bonnet.
