With a budget of HUF 450 million this year, the Ministry of Agriculture is announcing the hungarikum tender in three target areas: making publications, organizing contests, and preserving the culture of clothing, Minister of Agriculture István Nagy announced at his press conference on Monday.

The minister reminded: the law on Hungarian national values and Hungarian heritage adopted by the Parliament more than a decade ago was created with the aim of providing an appropriate legal framework for the identification, collection and documentation of values important to the Hungarian people as a whole. The national value pyramid created by the legislation enables us all to come close to this ideal by paying attention to our local, landscape unit, county values and national characteristics at the same time. We inherited the majority of our traditions and national values that we want to protect today from our predecessors, and our responsibility is to pass on this flame and this mission to future generations, he added.

István Nagy said: this year, the Ministry of Agriculture issued a tender with a budget of HUF 450 million for three target areas. The first area – for which a budget of HUF 360 million is available – includes the creation of electronic publications, photo series, films, the creation of a new website, the maintenance and development of an existing website, and the implementation of events for domestic and foreign applicants. Within these, the integration, use and making visible of the symbols typical of the given village or city in the image of the settlement appears as a new initiative.
