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 2023, it took place on the theme of "Freedom." 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 2023

2023 marked the eighth edition of the Franco-German Photo Competition. Around 350 students from Germany and France submitted their photos. From the multitude of interpretations of the theme FREEDOM, the members of the Franco-German jury (Cnous, DFJW and DSW, photographers and former prize winners) first made an individual pre-selection. Then, from the 110 favorites, the best photos of the competition were selected during a meeting
