Mini animation spots capturing the momentum and vibe of Budapest were designed by MOME Anim students to promote the MyBudapest application. The animations feature several iconic locations, including Trafo, Toldi Cinema, Gellért Hill, and thermal baths, presented by the students using their own experiences.

The animations were commissioned by the developer of the application, Budapest Brand, and created by the students during a course launched in September 2023, using their own experiences related to institutions in Budapest offering a discount and included in the ÉnBudapestem app. The event guide app provides discounts for cinemas, theatres, baths, restaurants, permanent exhibitions, and concerts in Budapest, and is designed to enable the people of Budapest to rediscover their city and look at it with fresh eyes.

One animation features a dragon flying over the Buda Castle, another kufli-like creatures touring the attractions of the city, while a third fairytale creatures drawing young people out of the room and virtual reality into the open.

At the course, Angelika Galsi, Boglárka Gecse, Hanna Gollob, Eszter Győri, Erna Halmai, Orsolya Imre, Zsófia Jánosi, Kata Lakatos, Fruzsina Schwanberger, Ágnes Snekszer, Simon Szijjártó, Csilla Szőke, Kamilla Takács, and Viktória Tóth each created a 40-50-second spot each.

The first guest of the Q&Alumniof series is Anna Tőkés, MOME Animation alumna, who has recently participated in the Annecy International Animation Film Festival with her diploma film titled “The Last Drop.” In this episode, you can learn more about Anna’s experience at our university, her favourite memories of her time spent on campus, and even about her secret talents.

Water still feels like a given in our everyday lives – but for how much longer? This pressing issue was tackled by secondary school students in the 2025 edition of the ‘Jump into the Future!’ creative competition. Working in teams, pupils from Years 7 to 10 developed bold, imaginative ideas for the future of one of life’s most essential resources. In the second round, selected teams refined their concepts in close collaboration with MOME mentors. At the final on 25 June, ten teams presented their forward-thinking visions, with four of them awarded by a jury of MOME faculty. First place went to Ísbíltúr, second to Bacsaók, third to Code Noir, while Newwave received a special prize. All four stood out not only for their creativity, but also for their systems-level approach, serving as a powerful reminder that water scarcity is no distant threat but an issue we must act on now.

How can we make better use of public transport infrastructure? What would a truly fast and effective life-saving device look like? And how can we save agriculture in a world without bees? These are just a few of the questions addressed by our design students, and their imaginative, forward-thinking answers have earned international recognition in the Design Concept category of one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions, the Red Dot Award. Seven projects mentored through the MOME Red Dot submission programme stood out from the global competition this year, including diploma projects and semester-long university projects.
