A Hungarian and a Portuguese ballet talent have won their category’s first prize at the international ballet competition organised for the first time for young dancers in Veszprém, Europe’s Capital of Culture in 2023, the organisers said. 

The Youth Grand Prix going with a 2,000 euro cash award has been won by Cecília Porkoláb, a student of the Hungarian National Ballet Institute.

The Junior Grand Prix going with 1,000 euros has been fetched by Marta Barbeiro, a young dancer of Portugal’s Conservatório Internacional de Ballet e Dança, they said in a statement.

The Future Talent special award has been given to Adél Pálfi and Arina Kurbatova and the Best Male Dancer award has gone to Viacheslav Hosachynskyi.

The first Hungarian Ballet Grand Prix was called in the 7-18 age group for professional and amateur dancers in classical ballet and modern dance. Entries were made by 150 applicants from 20 countries.

The eight-member jury of eminent Hungarian and international professionals was headed by Tamás Solymosi.

A guest of honour at the competition was Kateryna Kukhar, prima ballerina of the National Opera of Ukraine who was also a member of the jury.
