Roma Folk Dance competition – men’s solo dance: the Gojma Award. Finals of the competition were held on July 2nd, 2025 at Hungary’s House of Music in Budapest. Makula Zoltán was this year’s winner of the Gojma Award. The competition was established by friends and family of Budapest Roma dancer Kovács Antal ’Gojma’ (1953–2005) to preserve his dance and encourage young Roma dancers to continue the tradition. Gojma had learned from his father, who was also well known in his community for his dancing. A jury of experts from the community decided on the winners of the competition and there was a gala performance featuring Gojma’s former band members from Romani Drom, family, and friends. The competition will be held every year.
