The story of the Nation Secondary Grammar School Academic Competition in the field of art and visual culture started in 1996, when the then College of Applied Art (now Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design) first time declare the competition for the secondary school pupils. Each year the organizers determinated a topic and the competitors had to establish their artworks in the different genre (paining, photo or design). A very important part was the competition that all of the students had to write – or paint or designed – a so called a diary about the concept and the progress of their piece of art.
It is amazing that several students who took part in the competition became a famous and acclaimed artists by now. It is a special opportunity to see where they started and how much they improved. The other remark of the exhibition is that now we can see how important these competitions are for a beginner artist.
