9th Franco-German Photo Competition 2024
Background
The Franco-German Photo Competition is a competition for students from Germany and France, jointly organized by the DSW, the Cnous, the Student Unions and the Crous. In 2024, it took place on the theme of "Mein Raum | Mon Espace." The photo competition aims to strengthen Franco-German friendship, promote artistic and international activity among students, and support the international activities of the Crous and Student Unions through the DSW and the Cnous. The photo competition thus aims to promote students' creative expressions while strengthening their commitment to the Franco-German friendship.
Photography contest 2024
2024 marked the eighth edition of the Franco-German Photo Competition. Around 566 students from Germany and France submitted their photos. From the multitude of interpretations of the theme MEIN RAUM | MON ESPACE, the members of the Franco-German jury (Cnous, DFJW and DSW, photographers and former prize winners) first made an individual pre-selection. The best photos of the competition were then selected during a meeting.
