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.

As part of the FISU Healthy Campus initiative, the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) launched the MOME Balance programme in 2024, a pioneering initiative in Hungary that supports conscious lifestyle changes. The programme aims to help maintain health, prevent stress, and combat burnout through a comprehensive, integrated system that combines physical activity, proper nutrition, and lifestyle coaching.

This year, the world’s leading international animation film festival celebrates the 110th anniversary of Hungarian animation. MOME Anim, a prominent hub in the Hungarian animation scene, is also preparing for this prestigious event. As part of the celebration, students from MOME’s partner school, Gobelins Paris, recently visited our university, drawing inspiration from Budapest to create the curtain films for the festival – the short spots that precede each screening block.

The winners of the eighth ArtHungry Award in the Product Design category include several former MOME students, such as Máté Guthy, Róbert Kristóffy, and Nóra Szilágyi for their ‘At Least’ home workout bench, and Márk Dávid for his ‘Puritaan – 03’ collection. The main prize in this category went to MAIII COLLECTIVE for its Fragments collection, which debuted at this year’s Stockholm Furniture Fair. In the Graphic Design category, Nóra Kaszanyi also received a main prize for her album and exhibition design ‘Biedermeier Lifestyles. Art and the Rise of the Middle Classes in 19th-Century Hungary (1815–1867)’. The awards were presented on 6 March at a ceremony held at Deák Palace in Budapest, which also marked the opening of a pop-up exhibition featuring the finalist projects.
