Starting in 2015, a regular Biennial Competition will be held for young authors published in the journal Umění/Art. Entries in the competition will consist of articles, reports, and contributions to the “Archive” section (but not reviews) that have been published in Umění in the preceding two years whose authors were aged under 35 at the time the text was submitted. The jury will consist of the members of the editorial board and the editorial staff of Umění. Each member of the jury will award three points to the text they consider the best, two points to the second best, and one point to the third, and the article with the highest number of points overall will be the winner. The author of the winning text will receive an original diploma designed by Jan Šerých, his or her choice of publications published by the Artefactum publishing house to a total value of 2000 Kč, two years’ subscription to the journal Umění, and membership in the jury for the following Biennial Competition. The results of the second Biennial Competition will be announced in 2017.
The First Biennial Competition for Young Authors Published in the Journal Umění/Art
On 29 May 2015 the results of the first biennial competition for young authors published in the journal Umění/Art were announced at an informal ceremony in Café Kampus. Twenty-one researchers in the early stages of their careers took part in the competition, with a total of twenty-four articles published in the high-impact journal Umění/Art in the period 2013-2014. The first prize went to Jan Zachariáš for his article “Vincent van Gogh’s A Pair of Shoes: An Attempt at an Interpretation” (Umění LII, 2014, pp. 354–370). The jury also gave a special mention to Věra Laštovičková for her study “Architektur als ‘versteinerte Musik’: Die theoretische Reflexion der Architektur in der deutschen Romantik und bei Bernhard Grueber” (Umění LII, 2014, pp. 439–453) and to Tomáš Murár for the essay “‘The Entertainment of His Most Excellent Majestie Charles II’: Royalty Representation and its Visualization in a Festival Book by John Ogilby and Wenceslaus Hollar” (Umění LII, 2014, pp. 516–528). Original diplomas were designed for all the award-winners by Jan Šerých, who is responsible for the current graphic design of the magazine Umění/Art.
