Are you interested in poetry? Translate Petőfi!

We are planning various programs for the Petőfi anniversary between March and May 2023.

Now we invite you to translate a poem by Petőfi into any language or send a poem you like (we ask for your own translation). We continuously share the poems on our website, social media sites, and posters, and the works will also be published in the form of a small booklet in May.

Send your poems here: petofi200@uni-be.hu

We look forward to your translation! You can read about Sándor PETŐFI here: https://hungarytoday.hu/hungarys-national-poet-sandor-petofi-born-200-years-ago/

Help: You may find Petőfi’s poems in English on this website

Our programmes and recommendations for the anniversary will be continuously updated on the Faculty Library website!

Youtubers, tiktokers, instagrammers, bloggers, attention! 😊 

Your works are welcome in person at the Faculty Library or at this address: petofi200@uni-be.hu 

Submission deadline: 30 April 2023. 

Your works will be presented at the closing event - according to their genre -, in the FCHT Petőfi200 programme publication, the visual art works in an exhibition and the poetic and musical works on stage.
