"IN NAME AND SYMBOLISM
THE GEORGE WASHINGTON AWARD
WAS INSPIRED BY THE STATUE OF WASHINGTON ERECTED
IN THE CITY OF BUDAPEST IN 1906.
IT WAS A GIFT FROM HUNGARIAN IMMIGRANTS
LIVING IN AMERICA.
FOR THE IMMIGRANTS THE STATUE SERVED
AS AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE TO
THE MEMORY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON
AND TO THEIR ADOPTED COUNTRY,
WHILE NOT FORGETTING THE LAND OF THEIR BIRTH.

THE GEORGE WASHINGTON AWARD
OF THE AMERICAN HUNGARIAN FOUNDATION
HONORS PERSONS WHOSE EMINENT CONTRIBUTIONS
ARE IN THE BROAD FIELD OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE, THE ARTS,
COMMERCE, INDUSTRY, THE SCIENCES,
AND UNDERSTANDING AMONG MEN AND NATIONS."
