Reading is not only a form of learning, but also of experiencing - just like a stay abroad!
This year, the photo competition organized by the International Office of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar will focus on places of knowledge, reading and learning - show us your favorite places during your stay abroad or in Weimar if you are an international student: libraries, universities, urban or landscape spaces ...
"READING THE WORLD | DIE WELT LESEN" - we are looking forward to photos under this motto, which, together with a complementary text, show the many facets of study stays abroad. All students of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar who have completed a stay abroad/internship as part of their studies or who have come to Weimar from abroad to study can take part. A jury representing the various areas of the Bauhaus-Universität and consisting of representatives from the 4 faculties, the President's Office, University Communications, University Development and the International Office will select the winners. The works will be shown in an exhibition in the University Library. A public favorite will also be selected. Selected works will be presented in an annual calendar.
1st prize: 300 €
2nd prize: 200 €
3rd prize: 100 €
Public choice award: 200 €
PHOTOGRAPHY
Each participant may submit one photograph with a resolution of at least 300 ppi and a size of approx. 3000 x 2200 pixels | approx. 30 x 40 cm in JPEG or TIFF format, color mode RGB or Grayscale. With your submission you accept the conditions of the competition and agree to the possible publication of your entry.
TEXT
Together with your photo entry, please submit an accompanying text (max. 1,200 characters including spaces), which - if your entry is shortlisted - will be shown together with the photo in the exhibition.
The text should not be a description of the photo, but rather complement the image and perhaps create an interesting tension. For example, it could reflect on the moment the photo was taken, describe the personal significance of the motif or take the viewer on a mental journey.
The jury represents various areas of the Bauhaus-Universität and consists of representatives from the 4 faculties, the Office of the President, University Communications, University Development and the International Office.
The jury will first select a shortlist from the entries, which will be shown in an exhibition in the University Library and from which the winners will later be chosen.
