The award follows a remarkable season for Angelova, who is coached by Georgi Pomashki. In July, she won the European under-18 triple jump title in Rieti, Italy, with a leap of 13.98 metres, setting a championship record and recording the world's best under-18 mark of the season.
Less than a month later, she won the world under-20 title in Eugene, United States, with a jump of 13.91 metres, claiming gold in an older age group at just 17.
Previous winners of the women's European Athletics Rising Star award include Olympic and world champions Nafissatou Thiam, Yaroslava Mahuchikh, Femke Bol and Jessica Ennis-Hill.
