The UNITA Photo Contest 2026 offers members of the UNITA Alliance the opportunity to share their experiences and visions of European identity and citizenship.
The goal of this contest is to find visual expressions of the European project of cooperation, mainly about the concepts of european identity and citizenship.
The candidates must capture in their photos the essence of these concepts, reflecting them in their different manifestations and/or showing the new realities transforming the lives of European citizens.
In this year’s call, photographs focused on themes such as european diversity and cultural heritage will be especially valued by the jury.
The contest is open to all UNITA students, teaching and research staff, and administrative and services staff.
Each participant may submit only one work, which can be a single shot or a photo essay/series (up to 3 related images).
All photographs must be original works produced by the person submitting them, and they must not have been previously exhibited or entered into any other competition.
This is a single competition organised collectively by all UNITA universities; therefore, each participant may only submit one entry through a single university.
Works will be selected by a jury based on their artistic relevance and their connection to the aforementioned themes. One winner will be selected from each university and awarded a prize of € 150.
Submissions must be sent by May 31, following the instructions provided in the attached document.
