»Wir sind UNIwegs!« Photo contest 2024
Under the motto “Wir sind UNIwegs”, all students and employees of the university were invited to take part in the photo competition from April 29 to May 22, 2024 as part of the university's 50th birthday celebrations. The competition encouraged people to take a creative look at mobility options and their own mobility behavior. Participants had three categories to choose from: “Networked: Mobility connects”, ”Traffic: Challenges of mobility” and "On the move: Mobile in everyday life” to choose from. From the 81 photographs submitted, the jury selected 15 entries, which will now be exhibited at various locations.

Award ceremony at the exhibition opening
The award ceremony for the photo competition took place on June 26 as part of the opening of the exhibition at the Schlaues Haus. Three prizes were awarded in each of the three categories.
1st prize: 100 euros and a bicycle bag
2nd prize: 75 euros and a hip bag from the University of Oldenburg
3rd prize: 50 euros and a water bottle from the University of Oldenburg
How were the photos selected?
Three jury members viewed each photo. Various aspects were to be covered in an evaluation process that was as transparent and fair as possible: Choice of subject, technical realization, creativity. In the event of equal ratings, an open discussion took place in order to reach a consensual result.
The jury consisted of: Sabine Bley (lecturer at the Institute for Art and Visual Culture and master photographer), Anna Krämer (climate action manager) and Silke Rudolf (cross-media editor in the Press & Communications department).
Legal matters
Participants warrant that they will only submit photos that they have taken themselves and that no third-party rights of use exist for the photos submitted. Any use of artificial intelligence is contrary to the spirit of the competition and is completely prohibited (the only exception being functions that are integrated into unmodified production cameras).
Participants warrant that the photos submitted do not infringe any personal rights, rights to their own image or other rights of third parties. If one or more persons are recognisably depicted in a photo, the photos may only be submitted if these persons have given their consent to the creation of the photo, its submission to the competition and its publication. The University of Oldenburg, as the organiser, may request the submission of a written declaration of consent at any time.
