Franco-German Photography Competition 2025

This year's theme: PEACE

Registration for the 2025 competition is open!

PEACE

This year, the Franco-German photo competition will be held on the theme of ‘Peace / Paix’. In a world full of conflicts and exactly 80 years after the end of the Second World War, peace in Europe is more important than ever. However, peace is not only crucial between states, but also between cultural and religious communities, between generations and within the family, but also in everyday life, in the neighbourhood and in relationships. And what does peace actually look like in communication, on social media or in the digital space? Last but not least, peace plays an important role in education, training and research, on the path to social justice or in the culture of remembrance.

The competition is aimed at students of all disciplines in Germany and France. You have the chance to win up to €1000. In addition, the works of the winners will be honoured at an award ceremony in Lyon in June and presented in the form of an exhibition at studierendenWERK BERLIN in the Kunstraum Hardenbergstraße.

You can only enter the competition via the entry form on the project website: https://concours-wettbewerb.eu
→ DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: 12/05/2025, 23:59
