The Board of Trustees issued the call for applications in autumn 2019 and published it in the bulletins of HTE and OPAKFI, on the internet, and on the notice boards of educational institutions. The competition was open to graduates — primarily engineers and physicists — submitting a summary of their independent work, articles published in field-specific journals, or a new paper as the submitted work. Applicants could hold other degrees as well, but their activity had to fall within the field of acoustics.
For the 2019 call, submitted works presenting the author's own new scientific results, theoretical or practical innovations, or developments could be entered in topic areas covering the principal fields of acoustics.
In 2019, the Dénes Huszty Memorial Prize consisted of a memorial plaque and a cash prize of 150,000 HUF.
One application was received by the stated deadline.
The applications were assessed by Dr. Fülöp Augusztinovicz, Chair of the Foundation's Board of Trustees, and the members of the Board.
The Board of Trustees decided to award one prize under the 2019 competition to Attila Zoltán Jenei.
The recipient earned the award with his submission "Possibilities for the automatic speech-based identification of depression using 2D convolutional neural networks" and his accompanying scientific article.
The prize was presented at the 2020 general assembly of HTE.
