This year's Hungary 365 photo contest has ended and set a new record: 6,500 applicants submitted almost 37,000 photos, the Government Information Center (KTK) announced on Saturday.
Csaba Dömötör, the parliamentary secretary of the Prime Minister's Cabinet Office, wrote in the announcement that the professional jury has already started evaluating the applications.
According to the information, it was possible to apply in three categories: nature and landscape, built and tangible heritage, and images of life. The jury awards valuable prizes in all three categories, and the best works are also voted on by the public. The award ceremony is expected to take place in December and an album is being prepared, with 365 pictures, which "all prove that we live in a good place, in a beautiful country".
According to Csaba Dömötör, the outstanding interest indicates that the Hungary 365 photo contest has become a well-known and recognized initiative.
