Global Campus Visual Contest: Awarded photos and video 2018
The 2018 Edition of the Global Campus Visual Contest was devoted to the theme “Diversity and Inclusion”. The participants were asked to investigate from their own perspective the multifaceted concept of diversity from country origin to language, from gender to sexual orientation, from culture to religion.
The contest, which ran from 1st March to 4th May 2018, received around 90 total submissions, from participants from different regions of the world, mostly Europe, South Asia and South East Asia, Central Asia and North Africa.
The winners of the different categories of the Global Campus Visual Contest put across powerful messages about “Diversity” through striking images and videos. They were also able to show the other side of diversity: inclusion. Or exclusion. Inclusion is how we try to bring out the unique strengths of individuals, groups and institutions. In contrast to this, in the political realm we witness more and more the use of the concept of “Others”, “Them” counterposed to “Us”. This reminds us that people are, and continue to be, often discriminated because of ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, education and religion and that some governments and groups perpetuate ways and policies that exclude instead of including.
We are happy to announce the winners of this Contest, as the most voted pictures and short-videos by its international Jury.
