The Competition

The EU information campaign "For Diversity.Against Discrimination." invited photography, art and design students from across the EU to make a creative statement for diversity by entering its "Breaking Stereotypes" Photo Competition. Students were asked to create a photo or photo collage that promotes diversity and appeals to a young audience.  

An international jury of photographers, young artists and well-known experts in the fields of design and communication selected the best photos. Contributions were judged according to their creativity and originality, as well as universal European appeal.  

The competition was open to students of photography, fine arts, graphic design, communication design, visual communications, media design and other related disciplines. Participants needed to be registered at an academy, university or college in one of the 27 EU Member States. Individual as well as team submissions of up to three students were permitted.
