This Tulipán Art & Culture Award supports individual artists that are committed to enriching the Hungarian American cultural landscape.

Applicants must be U.S.-based individuals who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and have a strong connection to the Hungarian American artistic and cultural landscape. While applicants do not need to be of Hungarian descent, they must demonstrate a commitment to promoting Hungarian heritage within the United States. Open to artists aged 18 and older across all disciplines—including visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, folk arts, multimedia projects, and cultural curation—the award welcomes individuals at all career stages (emerging, mid-career, and established) with a proven record of professional achievements, community involvement, or contributions to Hungarian American culture.

Grant funding ranges from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on the scope and needs of the project. Applicants should include a detailed budget in their proposal.
