Awards hero

Awards

At the Mediadesign Hochschule, we support our students from all departments in being brave and self-confident enough to continuously participate in national and international competitions and thus steadily increase their own market value.  We live this tradition and encourage our young talents to show themselves and to compete - no matter if it is about competitions of governmental agencies, associations, institutions or companies - we are there! 

We are proud of a large number of honors and awards that our students and graduates have won in recent years. 

Here are our highlights from the last 2 years:

ADC TALENT AWARD 2024

In 2024, the Mediadesign Hochschule again won a Golden Nail and an award at the Talent Award of the Art Directors Club (ADC). The speciality: The Game Design team from Munich made the previously impossible possible; for the first time in the history of the ADC, a Golden Nail was awarded in the Games category! The jury's comment on the winning game Light is Key: "With its game idea, atmosphere, user experience, consistent design, sound design and flawless functionality, this - mind you - semester project puts everything in the shade!"

The short film Sjena Noci from the Digital Film Design degree programme also won an award in the Animation category. A great success for the Mediadesign University and the Munich campus!

GamesPreis24

In 2024, two games by Game Design students at the Mediadesign University in Munich won the coveted GamesPreis24! We are proud and happy about the success of InSekten in the category ‘Prototype 19-26 years’ by Elena Neubauer and Pocket Sun and Apprentice Home Alone in the category ‘Finished Game 19-26 years’. Both games take the player into a completely different world and impressed the jury with their original game ideas, good design and intuitive, humorous gameplay.

Art Directors Club (ADC) Talent Award 2023 - 6 awards for Mediadesign University

One golden and two silver Nails, as well as three more distinguished prices of the ADC Talent Awards 2023 were awarded to students of Mediadesign University. We are incredibly proud to present the winning works, which not only demonstrate groundbreaking creative talent, but also the high quality of the training at mdh. Our students were able to impress the top-class jury with projects from the Game Design and Media Design courses.

Prof. Minnameier wins the Google Indie Games Festival 2022 and the German Computer Game Prize 2023

Prof. Dr. Christoph Minnameier teaches Game Design at the Munich campus and has found his own way to deal with the situation during the corona pandemic; he developed the Android mobile game Dungeons of Dreadrock! In 2022, he won the Google IGF and says happily: "I am very happy about the prize, especially because as an academic in the 'ivory tower' you naturally like to show that you are still able to put your own teaching content into practice. The The idea for the game came about spontaneously one evening while trying out new Unity technology features, and although the mechanics are very minimalistic, developing it in my free time took almost two years and was a good compensation for the social restrictions during Covid." In 2023 he also won the German Computer Game Prize in the “Best Mobile Game” category with Dungeons of Dreadrock. You can now play the game on the Nintendo Switch.

Mimimi Games - Winner of the German Computer Game Award 2021 in two categories "Best German Game" and "Studio of the Year"

A success story that began at mdh 2008. With prize money of 140.000€ the two Mimimi Games founders Johannes Roth and Dominik Abe' were awarded by the Federal Government of Germany. In total, prize money of 790.000€ was provided by the foundation members, more than ever before. A good indicator for the importance of the games industry within the German economy.

"Yes that was 2008, I was a student in the GD1008 course in Munich at the time, studying Game Design. We knew early on that we would have to tackle a semester project at some point. At that time it was about a 2D game in Flash," says Johannes Roth, founding member of Mimimi Games.

"In 2009, we developed our first game Grounded and actually already had the goal of winning the German Developer Award. Thanks to MD.H, we were able to show the game at the Gamescom booth and collected a lot of feedback.

Start -Up foundation with the support of mdh

"We were lucky to get regional funding programs through FFF Bayern, at that time 80.000 €. That was very relevant for us! Today there is nationwide funding and many more funding pots, for example in Berlin, which you should use as a newcomer. We had the great advantage here that we could access a large network through mdh, and the fact that we were able to participate in the German Developer Award at that time came about through the initiative of mdh. That was great for us at Gamescom - building up a network via lecturers, getting to know people from the industry, taking away feedback. That was great, of course." (Johannes Roth, founder of Mimimi Games)

Laura Petzke: Nomination for the Neo Fashion Award in the category Best Graduate 2021 during the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.  

The Elements collection by Laura Petzke featured wearable and avant-garde fashion pieces in minimalist aesthetics associated with the 4 elements of fire, water, air, earth.

October 2021 - Double victory at this year's Gamesfestival
