The Department of International Mobility of University of Economics in Bratislava organized a photography contest for exchange students from partner universities from September 15 to October 15, 2022. The goal of the competition was to promote and support technical and creative skills in photography as a form of artistic expression. The theme of this year's photography contest was „Bratislava by my eyes”, where students had the opportunity to show how they perceive Bratislava and Slovakia because photography says more than a thousand words.

The Department of International Mobility of EUBA selected three winners, to whom Boris Mattoš, Vice-Rector for International Relations of EUBA, awarded valuable prizes. Student Christopher from Romania shared with us the connection between art and the city: „I was doing photography before, but this one is my first with a smartphone. I was at the museum of contemporary art. I named my photography „Circles in Europe’s center” because that is where we are.” On the other hand, the student Mario mentioned „It was rainy here most of the time since I came, so finally, a blue sky, my favorite color hence the title „feeling of happy blue“. I had many options, but since I like nature, I chose this photograph.”
