The Stefan Lengyel Excellence Scholarship was established by the Foundation for Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in 2020. In addition to delivering a material reward to outstanding talents, the scholarship awarded now for the third time also places major focus on advancing the competences and practical experience of students and on their professional integration. 

Qualifiers are voted into the first round by students and instructors, and following a pre-screening, the winners are selected by a jury of university leaders, instructors and external specialists. This year too, scholarships were allocated in proportion to the number of students at each institute, with 5 students from the Design Institute, 3 from the Institute for Theoretical Studies, 2 from the Architecture Institute, and 6 from the Media Institute receiving the Stefan Lengyel Excellence Scholarship. 

At the reveal of the winners ceremony, speeches were delivered by the eponym of the programme professor emeritus Stefan Lengyel, President of the Foundation for Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Gergely Böszörményi-Nagy, and Rector József Fülöp. 

In autumn 2022, there will be an extensive exhibition featuring the works of the winners of all three semesters. The entries explore a wide variety of subjects and address issues of the present and the future, in particular ecological sustainability and social problems.

The MOME 2025 graduation visual identity is now complete, offering a visual representation of community-driven future building. At MOME, it’s tradition for the visual identity of the diploma events – from graphic design to the portrait photography of BA and MA graduates – to be designed by students themselves, with the concept chosen through a competition judged by a panel of university staff. The annually revamped visual identity serves as a visual snapshot of its time.

For the first time, the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) is taking part in the Budapest100 event series, which in 2025 will raise awareness about the importance of urban green spaces, gardens, and parks. MOME’s 15,000-square-metre, revitalised campus garden not only serves as a venue but also plays an active role in the festival with its eco-conscious developments and community activities. Budapest100 is an architectural and cultural festival that celebrates communities and the city, bringing neighbours closer together. From 22–25 May 2025, we’ll be focusing on urban green spaces, courtyards, gardens, and green corridors, along with the communities who nurture them.
