We love snapshots.
Students can exhibit their photographs at Studentenwerk Leipzig. In addition, a photo competition is organised every two years together with other Studentenwerk institutions.
Exhibiting photos at the Studentenwerk
Students who would like to present their photographs in an exhibition can apply to the Studentenwerk. The theme of the work is freely selectable.
Conditions
- The student photographers must be enrolled in one of the Leipzig Universities/Academies, which are associated with the Studentenwerk Leipzig during the exhibition period.
- The photographs are printed by the students themselves, glued onto backing material if necessary, and brought to the Studentenwerk.
The exhibition
- We are providing 24 black clip frames measuring 59.4 x 84 cm (DIN A1) for the exhibition, which need to be “filled” with content. Twelve frames are located on the first floor and twelve on the second floor. Each frame can be hung in portrait or landscape format.
- The exhibition areas are located in the corridors on the 1st and 2nd floors of the administration building at Goethestraße 6. The exhibitions can be visited during normal office hours.
- You decide on the size of the photo prints yourself. Either have the pictures printed in the appropriate frame size or, if you want your pictures to be smaller, you will need to stick them onto backing material (e.g., photo cardboard, size 59.4 x 84 cm). We will then insert the finished images into the 24 A1 frames and hang the exhibition.
- The theme of the exhibition can be freely chosen – two different themes can also be displayed on the two floors. Discriminatory, sexist, or violence-glorifying motifs are not permitted.
- The photo exhibitions are financed by the Studentenwerk Leipzig’s Cultural Funding, which means that we cover the costs of photo printing and cardboard up to a specified amount. Please keep all original receipts and bring them with you when you hand over your photos.
- Photos are usually handed over in person during the last week before the exhibition begins.
- The photographs are usually exhibited for two months. This gives all applicants a good chance to participate in the program.
- For your information: The two-month exhibition slots have been allocated until the end of 2026. However, you can already register your interest for exhibitions from next year onwards.
- If you are interested, please register now by sending an email to kultur@studentenwerk-leipzig.de!
