Svea Finck, a student from the diploma course in jewelry design at the Faculty of Design at Wismar University of Applied Sciences, has won first prize in the young talent competition for art medals on the theme of "Three Graces" with her work "Tell mE HoW tO bE A WOmEn".

The Numismatic Collection of the National Museums in Berlin, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Medaillenkunst e.V. (German Medal Society) and the Numismatische Gesellschaft zu Berlin e.V. (Numismatic Society of Berlin) had jointly announced the competition in December 2019. On Thursday, October 8, 2020, a top-class, eight-member expert jury selected from a total of 26 submitted entries, 15 of which medals had met the formal requirements, and recently notified the prize winners.

In the summer semester 2020, under the guidance of lecturer Anna Martha Napp, and accompanied by Prof. Andrea Wippermann from the design course and Prof. Hanka Polkehn from the communication design and media course, models and castings in white metal were created, of which seven student works from Wismar University were submitted to the competition.
A selection of the best works is to be shown from Friday, November 27, 2020 until October 2021 in the new special exhibition of the Numismatic Collection on the theme "From Eve to Greta, Women on Coins and Medals" at the Bode Museum on Museum Island in Berlin.
