Budapest music academy wins prestigious design award for advert

The Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest has won the Red Dot Design Award for its latest advertisement.

The announcement comes just as the Academy begins celebrations for its 140th anniversary, for which it will be hosting a range of special events. A gala concert will take place in November, along with two special concert series running throughout the season. The Legendary Concerts series will look back over milestone events such as the first concert of the Symphony Orchestra of the Liszt Academy in 1909, and the farewell concert of Béla Bartók and Ditta Pásztory in 1940, while two of the Academy’s history professors, András Batta and Sándor Kovács, will use both live music and archive recordings in their Liszt Academy of Yesterday series.

The PR video was also honoured earlier this year at the Chicago International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Hugo Award for Commercial and Corporate Design.

The Red Dot Award will be presented on 6 November in Berlin. The Red Dot Design Award is an international product design and communication design prize awarded by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Essen, Germany.
