EUTOPIA Photo Contest: Join our Journey

As a part of the third EUTOPIA Week the University of Gothenburg has prepared a photography contest for all EUTOPIA students and co-workers. In addition to the University of Gothenburg (Sweden), this also includes the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), the Vrije Universitat Brussels (Belgium), CY Cergy Paris Université (France), the University of Pompeu Fabra (Spain) and the University of Warwick (United Kingdom). The competition is already open, photos can be sent until Thursday, April 15, 2021, until 16.59 (CET), to eutopia@gu.se. You are also invited to the third EUTOPIA Week, which will take place from 12 to 16 April 2021.

And what is the theme of the photo contest of the University of Gothenburg?

Most of you are probably still working or studying from home. You might look out of the same window every day. But what do you see?  What you see out of your window might not seem that different or unusual to you. For someone else it might be. Or maybe the similarities of what we see, no matter where in the world we are, help us see the things we have in common. To celebrate EUTOPIA Week Spring 2021, we’d like you to snap a picture of your everyday life: of the street where you live, what you see on your way to buy a pint of milk, when you take your dog for a walk, or glimpse from your window before you switch on the computer in the morning. We’d love to experience it with you, if only in a photograph. Let others take a visual journey to the places that make us EUTOPIA.  

While there will be some nice prizes, this isn't a contest to find the most stylish or professional photo, or the grammatically perfect write-up. We're looking quite simply for photos that capture what people see outside these days, photos representing EUTOPIA's European and global partners taking part in EUTOPIA Week Spring 2021.

Let others get a look outside by sending your photo to eutopia@gu.se before 5pm (CET) on Thursday 15 April. Please include your name, where you are (Ljubljana, Mölndal …) and one to two sentences about your photo. The winners will be announced on the last day of EUTOPIA Week Spring 2021, Friday 16 April. You do not need to be present and please note that you by sending in your photo, agree to let EUTOPIA use, share, modify, and/or adapt your image.

More information about EUTOPIA Week, the programme and how to register, will soon be published here.
