“1 Post Against Racism” Contest

Student graphic design contest to promote republican values and raise awareness about anti-racism.

National Week of Education and Action Against Racism, taking place from March 21 to 28, 2021, is an opportunity for the University of Montpellier to highlight its commitment to combating all forms of discrimination. And since its students are so talented… this year we’re inviting them to express their vision of preventing and taking action against racism and antisemitism through graphic design…

10 student projects aimed at challenging stereotypes

The University of Montpellier is therefore organizing a graphic design contest as part of its program to prevent and combat racism and antisemitism. Based on a single word or phrase, these graphic designs should help break down prejudices and uphold the values of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.

Free and open to students at the University of Montpellier as well as those at institutions in the MUSE consortium (ENSCM, Institut Agro – Montpellier SupAgro, and IAMM), it will enable the 10 best entries selected by the jury to serve as the basis for an awareness-raising, educational, and action campaign against racism and antisemitism targeting all students and staff of the MUSE consortium and, beyond that, the general public.

Whether in digital format (via social media) and/or as an exhibition, this campaign highlighting our shared values will be launched during the 2021–2022 academic year.

The 10 students who created the selected designs will each receive a €150 FNAC gift card.

A contest organized by the Mission for the Prevention and Action Against Racism and Anti-Semitism in collaboration with the Student Vice President, the Office of Campus Life, and the University’s Communications Office.
