Are you a connoisseur of poor taste? Now’s the time to make your voice heard — have your say at the Romanian Kitsch Awards, a new initiative from Bucharest’s Romanian Kitsch Museum celebrating the best of garish national treasures.

The awards are split into five categories: history and legends, architecture and monuments, decorative art and interior design, culture and fashion, and media and digital.

What will get your vote? Will it be the replica Eiffel Tower in Slobozia, or perhaps the trend for taking tasteful bathroom selfies? You can cast your vote here.

The Romanian Kitsch Museum opened in May this year, inviting visitors to take in around 200 exhibits from the personal collection of museum owner Cristian Lica. Here Dracula gets his very own section, with other exhibits including Religious Kitsch, Communist Kitsch, Interior Design Kitsch, Gypsy Kitsch, Modern Kitsch, and Make Your Own Kitsch.
