Can you capture multilingualism?

Take a photo and join the MITN Photography Competition today!

The Migration, Identity, and Translation Network invites you to submit artworks that address the research theme on 'Multilingualism' in broad terms. This competition aims to provide a creative opportunity to represent multilingualism through visual means and to raise awareness about innovative ways of understanding multilingualism.

Submissions are welcome from any University of Warwick or Monash student and staff members, and any student and staff members from the Eutopia Alliance (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the University of Gothenburg, l’Université Paris Seine, the Pompeu Fabra University – Barcelona, University of Warwick, University of Ljubljana).

Collaborations are highly encouraged.

Works will be promoted through the MITN website. Elements of the winning work may be incorporated into the MITN pages, logo and promotion activities. A number of works by selected applicants may also be exhibited alongside the prize winners at a MITN event. All applicants relinquish their exclusive copyright ownership of the images.
