This may have been an important question for you, but meanwhile, the answer is obvious. Please share your experience! This video competition will honour and publish the most creative, most exciting and most ground-breaking contributions.
What are your experiences?
You put on record the encounters, places and moments that were vital to your stay abroad. Everything that is important to you: a tour of the campus or workplace, insider tips of your new city or the social evening with friends. We want the sound, the images and people - please be original!
Tell us your story!
The 2026 video competition has ended.
The video competition is made possible in cooperation with the Careers Service and the International Office of the University of Münster.
Awards
To mark the 10th anniversary of the Video Competition, this year there are two prize categories for semesters abroad and internships abroad, as well as an audience award.
In each category, there are vouchers to be won in the amount of:
1st place €150
2nd place €100

In addition, an audience award will be presented to mark the anniversary, and all participants who do not place will receive a small thank-you gift.
The decision is final.
All participants will be invited to the official award ceremony by email.
