The last 2 issues of folkMAGazin (2017/3, 2017/4) have published controversy surrounding the 20th Martin György International Legényes Competition and Couple Dance Competition held in Budapest in April, 2017. This issue includes more commentary on professional and logistical aspects involved in holding these competitions, respect for the authentic dance material, and issues of choosing, copying and mode of distributing the compulsory dance material to the competitors. “...what are the professional and ethical positions necessary for publishing folk art creations [or materials] – in today’s changing digital world?” A symposium for further discussion of issues at stake is recommended. By Richter Pál director of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Musicology on behalf of the institute’s folk dance researchers.
