Jury verdict

Dóra Balla → A breath of fresh air in its category, this unique and playfully designed volume guides the reader through the text by means of exciting games and typographic surprises. 

Anna Bárdi → The book is characterised by clear harmony of form and content with dynamic graphic gestures that fit the genre specifics perfectly.

Ákos Déri → Complementing the peculiarities of commedia dell’arte the book employs a cunning, intricate, surprising and diverse design approach. Lively, but not vulgar. The smartest book in this year’s competition

Bea Istvánkó → The complex design characteristic of this book, and not that characteristic of its genre in Hungarian publishing, makes the reading experience unique. The simplicity of the high-contrast front cover as well as the illustrative interior motifs are great.

L2 → Breaks the conventions of Hungarian fiction design making it unique in this category. The typography and layout are playful as is the illustration in harmony with the content.

Róza Tekla Szilágyi → Inventive and unconventional fiction volume whose complex and unifying visual and typesetting solutions complement – and sometimes interpret – the three plays on a new level.

László Valuska → Ákos Kele Fodor’s book includes three plays: the texts invite to play the typography, the typesetting and the illustrations as well. That is to say, the visual games not only embellish the text but also complement it.
