There shall be three valued awards The MSW Design Contest 2009: Far Worlds - Best of Science Fiction Awards - decided by the jury's judgement -, a Budapest MSW Prize for the Best Hungarian contestant - offered by The Municipality of Budapest - determined by public voting and an MSW Community's Prize, voted for by registered MSW users.
The winner teams (two persons per team) will be invited to the award ceremony, to be held in Budapest, December 2009.
The MSW awards will be:
2. Prize: 2x EUR - minimum 1.000 EUR value - enriched with a Gothard Medal (the Medal is sponsored by Márta Pacher & Ferenc Schulcz, Hungary)
3. Prize: 1x EUR - minimum 500 EUR value
The Budapest MSW Prize winners will get the opportunity to present their project - how to design a future/imagined city/world? - in a round table discussion to be held early 2010 in the City Hall. In this event Budapest representatives - Deputy Major Imre Ikvai-Szabó and Acting Chief Architect Éva Beleznay to name a few -, well-known urban experts and the public will discuss Budapest's mid- and long range development plans, strategies and projects. The winner of the Budapest MSW Prize will be determined by a public internet voting.
The MSW Community's Prize will be given by the voice of all registered users of the MSW website in a dedicated voting. The Hungarian Numismatic Society generously donated a recently issued commemorative medal featuring the Hungarian astronomer Jenő Gothard to enrich the Community's Prize.
Help us to enrich all our prizes and sponsor a Gothard medal!
The winner's and other selected work will be presented in the Galaktika, the award-winning Hungarian science-fiction Magazine.
