The competition organisers awarded the prize for the best cultural poster to Andrej Tóth for a promotion of the A38 ship, an events venue docked in the Danube. The winner in the one-minute film category is Balázs Turai for a work entitled Last Minute.

 
An award dubbed the "Dilemna Prize" went to Vivien Malatinszky, whose minimalist sketch of the female sex organ entitled Happiness Come Home was deemed worthy, but also inappropriate for the audience of all ages that will see the posters at '56 Square.

For the first time, a children's contest is also part of this year's competition. Children may submit drawings, paintings or digital images fitting the theme "What's the best thing in the world?" on A4-size paper until September 15. The best 50 submissions will be enlarged and put on display during the Saint Francis Day Festival in Bakáts Square.
