Municipalities can apply for the 30th Flowering Hungary competition until June 15, the Hungarian Tourism Agency (MTÜ) told MTI on Tuesday.

This year, the competition will be announced again in five traditional settlement categories – from small villages to large cities to capital districts – while Hungarian-inhabited settlements across the border can apply for the fourth time. In this year’s competition, in addition to sustainability and environmental beautification, community building will also play a prominent role – they wrote.

According to the announcement, a celebratory publication covering the history of the competition is being prepared for the 30th anniversary, and a jubilee award will also be presented this autumn. Furthermore, with the cooperation of the Association of Hungarian Dészfaiskolasok Egyesület, this year each applicant settlement will be enriched with a commemorative plaque and tree sapling.

They added that the Green Innovation of the Year award will be awarded for the first time in 2023, drawing attention to the importance of sustainability.
