Call for Student Photography Submissions
THE SOUL OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
As part of the additional program of the International Scientific Multidisciplinary Conference MIC – Vis 2026, an international student photography competition will be organized. The selected photographs will be presented at a special exhibition during the conference.
We invite students from all fields of study to submit their photographs and participate in this exhibition.
The Mediterranean can be interpreted from many different perspectives: picturesque tourist scenes, memories of beautiful holidays, romantic sunsets, impressive landscapes, or distinctive architecture. However, this exhibition aims to highlight the Mediterranean through the colors that give this region its unique atmosphere and identity.
Through the theme “The Soul of the Mediterranean,” we invite students to explore and capture the colors, light, and visual impressions that make the Mediterranean environment so special for every observer.
The best submitted photographs will be selected by an expert jury and exhibited as part of the conference program.
Detailed information about the competition rules and submission process is available in the Call for Submissions and Competition Guidelines document. The application form can be accessed below.
