Every other year, Stadthaus Ulm invites young people to submit work focussing on one democratic value for the photography exhibition ‘Causing Democracy!’

In 2023, the topic is justice. But what does ‘justice’ mean?

Young people from the age of 10 to 25 can submit photos and a short description in three age groups (10 to 14, 15 to 19, and 20-25). We are not looking for ‘pretty pictures’, but images that are a visual representation of the value and that tell a story.

We aim to put the spotlight on the basic values our democracy and our living together depend on, such as ‘freedom’, equality’, ‘peace’, or ‘security’. It is the central political ideas of our modern times that offer guidance for a respectful way of living together.

During the first half of 2023, the Stadthaus is offering workshops for schools, to examine these values in detail.

Submissions can be uploaded from 1 February 2023: https://stadthaus.ulm.de/fotowettbewerb
