The German-French Photo Competition 2022 was held on the theme of "Solidarity".

Background

The Franco-German Photo Competition is a competition for students from Germany and France, jointly organised by the DSW, the Cnous, the Student Unions and the Crous. In 2022, it took place on the theme of "Solidarity". The photo competition aims to strengthen Franco-German friendship, promote artistic and international activities among students, and support the international activities of the Crous and Student Unions through the DSW and the Cnous. By doing so, the photo competition aims to promote students' creative expressions and at the same time strengthen their commitment to the Franco-German friendship.

Photography contest 2022

Around 1,187 students from Germany and France submitted their photos. From the large number of interpretations of the theme SOLIDARITY, the members of the Franco-German jury (Cnous, DFJW and DSW, photographers and former prize winners) first made an individual pre-selection. Then, during an online session, the best photos of the competition were carefully chosen from the 157 favorites.
