Under the motto “From Campus Life to City Streets: Augsburg through your Lens”, the International Office is organizing a photo contest for international students studying at the University of Augsburg in the winter semester 2024/25. The theme of the contest is your personal perspective on Augsburg, beyond the usual tourist pictures. What does your everyday life in Augsburg look like? Which side of Augsburg or the campus do you personally find the most beautiful? Ideally, your photo should show that it was taken in Augsburg or on the university campus. People, food, everyday life, architecture - everything is allowed, so let your creativity run free!
 

The deadline for entries is January 15, 2025.
 

The best photos will be exhibited on the campus of the University of Augsburg in the summer semester 2025 and you also have the chance to win one of the following prizes:

1st prize: Augsburg City voucher worth 100 euros

2nd prize: Augsburg City voucher worth 75 euros

The Augsburg City voucher can be used in numerous stores in Augsburg.
