The “SZTE Prezilimpia 2023” presentation competition was held in the spring semester, organized by the Faculty of Economics, the SZTE Junior Academy and “Ez a Beszéd Szeged Toastmaster Klub” in cooperation with Philip Morris Hungary.

The national finals were preceded by faculty rounds at the University of Szeged, while students from other universities could participate in an online selection process. The contestants had to give a presentation of at least six but no more than eight minutes on the topic “Conscious Consumption – Harm Reduction – Sustainability”. They were coached by mentors to help them prepare individually.

The national final took place on May 10 at the Szent-Györgyi Albert Agóra. The finalists of the presentation competition also had the opportunity to compete in the “Presentation Karaoke” competition.

Both tournaments were held in Hungarian and English.
