We all take hundreds of photos that we leave on our mobile phones without taking the time to look at them again. What if you had the opportunity to have them exhibited and to take part in setting up an exhibition? Send us a photo focused on one of the three following theme: Climate, Democracy or Global Health. The winners will receive a prize, their photos will be printed and unveiled at an exhibition opening. Submit your pictures by 15th of October!
Focus on three themes: Climate, Democracy and Global Health
Ready to get started? Send us your photo!
Need some inspiration?
Here are some tips :
- Climate: green spaces on your campuses, meteorological phenomena observed at your place of study (sun, clouds, rain, wind, etc.), recycling actions, the use of renewable energies, the impact of climate change, courses linked to this theme…. Don’t be afraid to play with contrasts!
- Democracy: moments of dialogue between different generations and/or cultures, polling stations, symbols of freedom, peaceful demonstrations, scenes of participation (raised hands, polls, etc.)… Look for moments of connection, divergence, debate and expression at the heart of the principle of democracy!
- Global Health: (physical, mental and public): laboratories, care or well-being areas on your campus, university sports or cultural activities, scenes from student life affected by the pandemic, moments of exchange over a balanced meal…. Think outside the box!
Photography is a means of expression, so think about the story and emotion you want to convey before you take your photo. You can submit your photo via the competition entry form (more information at the bottom of this page).
Photo contest selection and reward
The selected photos will be unveiled on October 17th at 6 p.m. during the Reveal your Talent evening organised in the main hall of the Grands Moulins campus as part of #ErasmusDays. They will then be printed in large format as part of the photo exhibition to be held during Europe Month in May 2025.

Learn more about the image reproduction right
Don’t forget that everyone has the right to their image, so if your photo features identifiable faces, it cannot be exhibited without the permission of those people.
To use a person’s image (photo or video), you must obtain their written consent if they are recognisable (for distribution, publication, reproduction or marketing).
In the case of an image taken in a private place, your permission is required if you are recognisable: holiday, family event, sporting or cultural event, etc.
In the case of an image taken in a public place, your permission is required if you are isolated and recognisable. Oral consent from the person to be photographed or filmed is not sufficient.
The written agreement must specify: on what medium will the image be distributed? For what purpose? For how long? The person’s written consent is also required if their image is to be reused for a purpose other than that for which it was originally used.
The UPCité image rights form is available HERE.
However, image rights are subject to certain limits to ensure respect for the right to information, the right to freedom of expression and artistic and cultural freedom. Thus, the consent of the person is not required to broadcast certain images provided that their dignity is respected and their image is not used for commercial purposes. For example
- Image of a group or street scene in a public place if no individual is identified and within the limits of the right to information.
- Image of a current event or public demonstration within the limits of the right to information and artistic creation.
- Image of a public figure in the exercise of his or her duties if the purpose of the image is to inform (an elected official, for example).
- Image illustrating a historical subject.
