In March, the University of Pécs launched the PosiTivE - "What good has the changed life situation given you?" photo competition to draw attention to the moments and events that caused temporary or lasting positive change in everyday life, despite the hardships of the period.

The timeliness of the photo competition and the

joy of sharing PosiTivE experiences

is exemplified by the hundreds of entries, all of which show the uplifting moments of the changed life situation.

In the first round, the pictures were judged by the Rector of the University, Attila Miseta, and a professional jury of photographers with university ties, invited by UP: Judit Déri, Lajos Kalmár, Ferenc Kálmándy, József L. Szentpéteri and Pál Fodor presented the best photos of their choice. They also selected the 50 photos for which the public could cast their vote through the UP PosiTivEphoto instagram account. In the end, the photos collected more than 5,300 votes. A Turkish photo won by a large margin, with the creator of the photo titling it "Father and Son" (in the original language: Baba ve Oğlu).The winners have been informed in e-mail.
