Foreigners are also welcome to apply for the Young People's Foundation for the Nation, A Slice of Our Country competition, in which an image film can be made about a settlement in the Carpathian Basin.
With the competition, I would like to present the well-known and lesser-known settlements or parts of settlements of the Carpathian Basin and their sights in the form of videos.
The organizers want to strengthen the feeling that we can be proud of the Carpathian Basin, which is home to Hungarians, and they also want to encourage people to take time to visit domestic landscapes and settlements in addition to traveling abroad.
We believe that every settlement has something special: an old church, a neat village house, a charming lake, beautiful lankas that surround the settlement, characteristic architectural elements, a famous monument, a central part where people gather.
These may not even be noticed by passing tourists, so we ask the entrants to
make a video from their own point of view about a settlement that is close to their hearts so that others will want to visit it"
- can be read in the notice published on the foundation's website.
As they write, applicants under the age of 35 have no other task than to make a five-minute, atmospheric video about the settlement or part of the settlement they have chosen, upload it to YouTube, and send it to the organizers together with the completed registration form.
The free entry closes at midnight on May 11, 2024, and from May 20 to June 19, the best videos will be posted on the organization's Facebook page, which will also be entered in the audience prize category.
Voting closes on June 30 at 7:00 p.m. (the professional jury also continuously evaluates the entries), and the results in both categories will be announced on July 1.
Based on the jury's decision, the first three winners will be awarded HUF 200,000, 150,000, and 100,000 HUF, and one person will be awarded HUF 100,000 based on the audience's votes.
The technical conditions and further information about the entry are available on the foundation's website, while the organizers also provide help and guidance via the info@fiatalokanemzetert.hu .
