July 8, 2015

The judges have made their decision: the 20 best photos have been chosen from the entries submitted by 31 May. Choosing the winners was a difficult task as there were many great photos representing different aspects of FAU and student life. Take a look at the student blog meineFAU to see all the winning entries.

The winning photo: 'Abenteuer – Auf dem Weg ins Ungewisse' (adventure – journey into the unknown) by Thomas Kleinert. He spent a semester abroad in Bangkok, during which he went on an adventurous journey along the Irrawaddy River (Burma) in the fog.
