“Between lectures and diversity: Your most moving moment abroad.”

“Between lectures and diversity: Your most moving moment abroad.” Photo contest for the 2026 International Study and Internship Fair.

Have you studied abroad for one or two semesters or completed an international internship? Or perhaps you are still abroad right now, or you have come to the University of Bonn for a semester as a visiting exchange student.

Whatever the specifics of your stay, you have ve surely had diverse and exciting experiences during this time—also beyond the lecture hall—that have shaped you.

 Share your most moving photo from your stay abroad with us—the photo that best illustrates these aspects and could optimally inspire fellow students to pursue international opportunities as well.

Who is eligible to enter the contest?

All students enrolled at the University of Bonn.

Selection

The team at the University of Bonn International Office will choose three winners. The winning photos will be published on our website and social media accounts!

Technical specifications

You have complete freedom as to photo format and alignment—you decide whether it is landscape or portrait.

Design
