This is the second time that the Nők Lapja editorial staff will present the Role Model Award. The jury includes Adél Kováts, Krisztián Steigervald, Alexandra Béres and Lia Pokorny.
According to the editorial staff of Nők Lapja, role models are perhaps even more important in today’s fast-changing world, as they provide a model to follow. They show the way that it is possible to work, create and live in this way. The magazine has always paid particular attention to showcasing extraordinary, exemplary life stories. The first presentation ceremony of the award, launched last year, witnessed a series of moving moments: dedicated teachers, researchers, community-minded women taking to the stage, in a spotlight that was unusual for them, to a storm of applause.
In each category, a special professional jury, together with the editorial staff of Nők Lapja, selected the nominees, who will be featured in the magazine in the coming weeks. The jury includes, among others, actress Adél Kováts, director of the Radnóti Theatre, physicist and climate researcher Diána Ürge-Vorsatz, generational researcher Krisztián Steigervald, children’s rights advisor Szilvia Gyurkó and actress Lia Pokorny. Readers can also vote to decide the winners in the Innovation, Culture, Education, Health and Community Building categories. Voting for the nominees is open online until 4 May at www.noklapja.hu/peldakepdij/, and the May awards ceremony is open to the general public, who can buy tickets.
