The photo competition for students will be launched again at the beginning of 2023 - this time, in addition to bachelor's and master's students, doctoral students are also very welcome to submit their "snapshots". A special award on the topic of "Planetary Health" is also planned. The call for submissions will be released in the course of January - stay tuned, we are looking forward to your snapshots!

In the meantime, the winning photos of the last snapshot competition can be admired in a poster exhibition at the NIG near the StudienServiceCenter, in UZA II near exit A and in the observatory tour - and of course here on the internet:

And the winners 2021/22 were ...

The first place of the photo competition 2021/22 went to Christoph Matella for his picture "Above the colourful clouds"; the second to Philip Kroos for the "Milky Way over Namibia" and the third to Stephan Troyer for "Moments of encounter". In the category 4 to 10, the jury did not rank the best snapshots - they were too close together. Congratulations and many thanks to all participants for their outstanding submissions!
