UNITA Photo Contest

Photo submission time-limit: 31 May 2025

UNITA photo contest offers the members of all UNITA universities the opportunity to share their experiences and visions about the European identity and citizenship. In this year’s competition, the photographs themed on European diversity and European cultural heritage will be particularly valued. The photos will be selected by the jury based on their artistic relevance and their connection to the aforementioned theme. The winning photograph will be granted 150 euros. Moreover, the prize-winning pictures will benefit from visibility: UNITA will display them within several marketing initiatives such as: websites, social media, advertisements, each university’s electronic bulletins, e-newsletters, brochures of the programmes, exhibitions, and more. The author will be systematically credited for his achievement.

The UNITA photo contest is open to all students, academic teaching personnel, research scientists and administrative staff within the UNITA universities. The photographs must be taken or produced by the very person submitting them, be original and must not have been previously displayed or submitted to any other contest. Each participant may register only once, either with a single work of art or with a photographic essay/series of photos (maximum 7 images related to each other).

In your email, you should include the following:

  • Your full name
