Rules of participation for our Study Abroad Video Contest:

• Participants must own the copyrights to their submitted videos, i.e. please do not use videos from anyone else, from Google Search or from sites where images can be downloaded – they are underlying the copyright. Please also make sure that you only use royalty-free music according to GEMA regulations. If this is not the case, unfortunately we can not use your video and you have to send us a new one.

• Submitted videos must show motives regarding the topic “student life during study abroad”, such as footage featuring university life, class mates, the participants themselves, student events & parties, students at the beach etc. Submitted videos must feature at least one person. We look forward to receiving your creative submissions!

• Featured individuals who can be clearly recognized must sign a release form, which you can download here: Release Form for Video Contests. Please scan the form and send it along with your submissions via Email to [email protected] or fax it to + 49 (0) 6151 9674 668. Submitted videos depicting individuals who have not signed a release form will be disqualified.

• The copyright of the videos submitted will become the property of the International Student Office (i.e. participants agree that their submitted videos can be used for marketing purposes and can be published outside the video contest).

• Any recourse to courts of law is excluded.

• Please email your videos in mp4-format to [email protected] or send us a dropbox link or the like alternatively. Individuals can submit up to 5 videos.
