In the competition, there are no boundaries: you can even write a poem or a sonnet, the most important thing is to express your feelings and impressions about Budapest and to create an ambiance you wanted to.
The aim of the competition is to convince people to add something personal to the city’s cultural life.

The idea of “Budapest in 100 words” was born after a South American initiative, “Santiago 100 palabras”. This is an important and valuable competition in Chile, which inspires people for 14 years already. There are more and more stories every year, for example last year, 46 000 “creations” were born. So let’s hope the same success for “Budapest in 100 words”, too.
