These were the best creative projects in Hungary in 2015

The third Highlights of Hungary, organized by the Super Channel, was recently held in the Toldi Klub, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu wrote. Out of the 53 projects the curators chose 10 was actually chosen by the viewers: thousands of people have cast their votes. Thanks to Forbes, Instyle, the Municipality of Budapest, and the BVA Budapesti Városarculati Nonprofit Ltd., three special awards were given.

All the projects are exceptional: the Kreinbacher Estate, which finished 10^th place, is the ideal combination of the Hungarian gastronomy and design; visitors are welcome to enjoy the vineyard’s best wines in a unique and relaxing environment. The Maacraft, which got 9^th place, is equally unique: a workshop was created by the Miskolc Autism Foundation (Miskolci Autista Alapítvány) for designers and young autists to work together on great projects to prove that autists have creativity as well, and are capable of making extraordinary objects.

The eighth place was awarded to Péter Gárdos for his successful novel Hajnali Láz (Fever at Dawn), which tells the tragic love story of Gárdos’ parents (Gárdos also made a movie out of the novel). Seventh place was taken by the Bánkitó Festival, which proves that you don’t need millions of Forints to organize a great cultural festival in the summer.

The next (sixth) place was given to the Autizmusbarát Kakaókoncert (Autism-friendly Cocoa concert), which is a music initiative and aims to create an atmosphere where children with autism, their siblings, and their parents can all have a good time.

Fifth place was also taken by a music project, the Midnight Music. The goal of the concert venue, which starts half an hour before midnight, is to bring classical music closer to young people. The Kéktúra pecsételődobozok (Blue Trail Stamp Boxes), which finished fourth place, gives an opportunity for nature-lovers to gather all the different stamps while going through Hungary’s most popular hiking trail named the “Blue trail.”
