A photo competition that makes Bayreuth's wild side visible

The competition invites you to discover favorite places where plants and animals find space and the beauty of the imperfect becomes visible.

Experience biodiversity anew

The central idea is that seemingly wild, natural areas create valuable habitats. The Ecological-Botanical Garden of the University of Bayreuth has been imparting knowledge about ecological connections, research, and environmental education for years. The exhibition and accompanying parcours make clear how small measures can have a big impact for insects, birds, and many other species.

A competition with an eye for details

Images are sought that show the special character of a favorite place: overgrown, colorful, close to nature, surprising. Those who participate sharpen their perception of structures that are often overlooked in everyday life. This is precisely the appeal of this event experience: it connects photography, nature observation, and outreach to all those who want to experience biodiversity not just theoretically, but very practically.

A place for environmental education and inspiration

The Ecological-Botanical Garden in Bayreuth offers the perfect setting for this. The outdoor area is not only scientifically characterized but also a publicly accessible place for education, recreation, and discovery. Those who engage in the competition will experience a piece of event atmosphere between research, garden culture, and sustainable inspiration.
