The McDaniel Prize awards students for their research and writing efforts on the Budapest campus. The Prize includes a chance to publish one' s work in the multilingual journal Kommunikáció Média Gazdaság [Communication, Media, Economy] as well as dinner at Budapest' s famous Rosenstein Restaurant. The competition includes two rounds:
-
the submission of 2,500 to 3,000 non-fiction research paper or essay;
-
an oral presentation and defense.
The three best papers are chosen by a group of faculty referees; their authors then have the opportunity to present their work in the final round, at the end of which the winner is chosen.
