Take part and win up to €300
To mark the 50th anniversary of Carl von Ossietzky University, we would like to highlight student research through a photo competition. Whether in the lab, on an excursion, in the archive or collecting data ... show us your research in a photo!
A jury will select the three best entries from all submissions. You will also have the opportunity to choose a public favorite. The winning images will be unveiled at a ceremony on November 20 and then displayed publicly at the university for two weeks.
In addition, we are giving away 5 vouchers for the "Stube" worth €15 among all participants in the public vote.
How can I take part?
Submit your photo via Stud.IP by October 27. Please describe the connection to student research in 2-3 sentences and give your photo a title. By submitting your photo, you agree that the University of Oldenburg may use it for public relations purposes.
What is student research?
During your studies you will encounter many interesting topics in your courses. You will be encouraged to think outside the box. Depending on your course, you may be required to submit a number of assignments or project papers, carry out experiments and record the results, or produce a scientific poster.
But what exactly is student research?
- You have developed your own research question that interests you and you are pursuing it as part of a seminar, project or even outside of lectures.
- To answer this question, you choose a specific method. For example, you might conduct interviews, carry out a literature review, analyse a data set, carry out experiments or even choose an experimental approach.
- Finally, you will present your findings and share them with your fellow students. This could take the form of a term paper, a poster, an article, a podcast, an object or a presentation.
What are the requirements for the photos?
The motive is free to choose, but should have a recognisable reference to student research.
Recommended page format: 4:3
Resolution: Long side at least 3500 pixels
File format: JPG, JPEG or PNG
The submitted photo must be accompanied by a short written description of the content depicted (2-3 sentences) that makes the connection to student research clear. A title for the photo must also be provided.
The photos must have been taken by the students themselves and must not infringe the rights of use or personal rights of third parties.
What is there to win?
Three jury prizes and an audience prize will be awarded.
"Jury prize" 1st place: €300
"Jury Prize" 2nd place: €200
"Jury prize" 3rd place: €100

How can I vote for the Audience Prize?

Short instructions will be made available on this page in good time.
What happens to the photos?
