about the competition

The overall theme of the competition is ‘Celebrating People and Places Globally’. Entries can therefore be inspired by, but are not limited to, our research areas of citizenship, development alternatives, governance, health & wellbeing and sustainability. Up to 3 entries are permitted per person.

Shortlisted entries will be featured in a four-day exhibition to be held at the University of York from the 19th-22nd November and on electronic screens across the campus and an online gallery.
