Photo Contest - My Global Snapshot

Embark on a visual journey around the globe with "My Global Snapshot", THWS's international photo competition!

Dear students, we invite you to capture the essence of your international experiences in a single image. Whether vibrant streets in Tokyo, serene landscapes in New Zealand, or bustling markets in Marrakech – show us your world.

What's up for grabs?

The top 12 photos have the chance to be featured in our calendars, postcards, posters, and on our website. Winners will receive a set comprising a calendar, poster, and postcard. And who knows? Some runner-ups might also steal the spotlight!

Submission deadline: December 15, 2023

Seize the opportunity to immortalize your international adventures. Submit your snapshot by December 15, 2023, and share your world with us. Each participant can submit one entry.

What techniques are allowed?

To ensure a cohesive presentation, please avoid filters, excessive post-processing, and black-and-white photos.

How does my image become the anniversary postcard?

All submissions are eligible, with the chance to become one of the winning designs. The top 12 photos have the opportunity to be featured in our calendars, postcards, posters, and on our website. In addition to printed materials, digital versions will be available for download on our website. Runner-ups also have a chance for digital publication and acknowledgment via our social media channels.

• Participants can revoke their declared consent at any time. The revocation must be sent in writing to terminaleins.hsin[at]thws.de.
• If a provision of these conditions of participation is or becomes wholly or partially invalid, this does not affect the validity of these conditions of participation as a whole.
