Welcome to the Spring 2026 issue of Folyosó! We are proud to present, in Hungarian, the winners of Varga’s 2026 creative competition, hosted by Judit Kassainé Mrena, Réka Soós-Deák, the school library, and the school’s Hungarian department. The rest of the issue is in English: stories of houses, apartments, and other places; stories involving songs; and cover art (the blueberry) by Márk Kovács.
For the Hungarian-language pieces, the authors’ names appear in Hungarian style, with the family name first. (Thus you will see the names “Farkas Fanni” and “Fanni Farkas”; they are the same person.)
All of the contributors to this issue are students of the Varga Katalin Gimnázium in Szolnok, Hungary.
