The United Nations has declared 2022 the International Year of Glass. To raise awareness among young people about the use of glass in everyday life, the regional committees of Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein are calling for a photo and video competition on the topic of glass.
„Stage yourself and others with glass in your everyday life“ is the motto of the competition, which is aimed at children and young adults between the ages of 12 and 23. is aimed at. Individuals as well as groups or school classes can take part. We are looking for creative, varied and unusual contributions on the subject of glass.
The best entries will be honoured at the glasstec trade fair in Düsseldorf in September 2022 and awarded prizes with a total value of 5,000 euros - prizes include school trips, day trips and iPads.
„With the photo and video competition, we want to specifically target young people who use glass every day. They often don't realise that many everyday objects would be inconceivable without glass - for example, a smartphone.“
Junior Professor Sindy Fuhrmann, TU Freiberg
