Photo competition

Once each semester, the International Office organises a photo competition and invites all international students at the Ohm to participate.

Show us and other students what you’re experiencing in Germany and what is special about your host country with your photos.

What photos can you submit?

Show us your favourite place on campus, your work in a lab, or a nice spot to relax after on campus after lectures. Be creative and show us the diversity of student life at the Ohm.

What are the requirements for participating in the photo competition?

  • Please submit a maximum of 3 photos per person in JPG format with a short description
  • Release form 

For photos that include images of yourself and friends, we require a written release form from each individual permitting us to use the photos.

What is the deadline and where do you submit photos?

Please send us the photos and the release form(s) by 9 December 2024 by email to: incomingsatth-nuernbergPunktde 

What prizes are offered?

The International Office looks forward to receiving your submission and curious to see the diversity of perspectives shown in your photos. We will be pleased to display all suitable photos in various contexts (e.g. on the IO webpages). The three best photos will be recognised with a prize.
