Third-semester student Ludwig Nikulski<\/a><\/strong> receives first prize in the photo category<\/strong>. For the award-winning photo series “Another sunny day,” the 33-year-old explored the Polish-Ukrainian border with his large-format camera shortly after the start of the war. “I show places where war seems to pass by. Places where the world could still be in order. But it is not,” Ludwig Nikulski describes the atmosphere in his pictures. He shares the award with former student Robin Hinsch<\/a>. The prize money is 1500 euros in each case. The Willi M\u00fcnzenberg Forum<\/a> is an association of scientific project groups, educational institutions and media companies for an international exchange of researchers and institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
