The Hungarian Tourism Agency explained that during the country’s most important environmental design competition, a record number of applications were received, and a total of 439 entries from 339 local authorities – including 32 from abroad – were judged by a jury of nearly 150 members in recent months.

The jury said, that they had received a record number of applications despite the drought-stricken summer highlighting the importance of the continuous improvement of the green environment for local communities. More and more municipalities are using perennials instead of annual flowers or are paying attention to afforestation, but there are also good examples of rainwater harvesting.

Flowery Hungary, the country’s most community-moving and patriotic environmental design competition, will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2023. To mark the occasion, the organizing committee will be preparing a number of interesting events for the next competition season, the Hungarian Tourism Agency said.
