Over 70 inspiring and emotional stories have been told so far by the participants in the game of UniCredit Bulbank „True wish“. Among them there is a honeymoon in Hawaii, celebration of a 50th anniversary in Disneyland in Paris, purchase of spare parts for restoring old motorbikes for a friend, construction of a dome house with a transparent roof, a ticket for Justin Bieber concert, construction of a new playground and many more.   The bank launched its platform for making dreams come true – at the end of last month promising that the author of the most creative video will receive a voucher for 5,000 Bulgarian leva according to the wish they would like to turn into reality, and the opportunity for their story to be featured in an advertisement video of the bank.

Judging by the videos published so far, Bulgarians usually want to make a close person's wish come true by presenting them with an opportunity for a trip, carrying out home repairs or buying new furniture, helping them develop their hobby or skills.   

“The applications so far are quite good, but we do not rule out the possibility for the big winner in the game to emerge in the last week. Spare some of your time and take part,” said Levon Hampartzoumian in his capacity as member of the jury in the game.  Together with the Chief Executive Officer of the bank, the other members of the impartial jury of „True wish“ are Enrico Minniti, General Manager of the bank, Magardich Halvadzhiyan, director and producer, and Geri Turiyska, writer, musician and radio presenter.

“I have the impression that most of the wishes are related to self-development, for example receiving education or professional development.  These are inspiring dreams with a long-term effect not only on the person that would win the competition,” shared Geri Turiyska. 

Magardich Halvadzhiyan encouraged some of the participants’ wish for marriage. “I am particularly happy of the fact that a lot of people still dream of getting married.  I can see that many men dream of making the women by their side their wives! I have always believed that marriage is a matter of responsibility and declaring your love for your partner.  I admire those people and wish them good luck!” said Halvadzhiyan.
