Henkel, which makes such well-known household brands as Persil, is organising the competition for the seventh year in a row. This year, Henkel invited submissions of graphic art.
The five finalists are Gyöngyi Gallusz, Pál Gellérfi, Laura Somogyi, Márton Takáts and Gábor Véssey. The artists were picked from more than a hundred applicants by a jury comprising Tibor Kiss Somorjai, head of the Graphic Art Department at the Hungarian Fine Arts Academy; Júlia Fabényi, a member of the Baranya County Museums board; Antal Vásárhelyi, chairman of the Association of Hungarian Lithographers; Gábor Erdős of Hungarian Television; and Emília Kultsár, communications manager at Henkel Hungary.
