About the Prize

YUHU-DÍJ is a new literary prize established by Domonkos Martina in memory of her father, the poet and prose writer Domonkos István. The prize takes its name from Domonkos István’s book of poetry Yu-Hu-Rap. His poetic and prose work developed close to the edge of artistic silence, shaped by his deep concern for the future of poetic expression and for talents that might be lost without encouragement and support. The prize aims to discover and support young, early-career Hungarian-language writers and help launch their literary careers.
