From the outset, the award’s mission has been to recognize the cultivation and nurturing of Hungarian culture, and to honor outstanding representatives of the Hungarian arts, sciences, and sport. The Prima Primissima Foundation was founded in 2003 by Sándor Demján, and was complemented by regional Prima Awards in 2005.
Hajdu Bihar district joined the Prima Primisima system in 2007. Today, the best of the province in intellectual life, culture, science, art and sports can gain independent recognition across the country.
