“Purkyně, Our Way” – Join This Unique University Contest
To mark this year’s celebration of the 35th anniversary of the founding of Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, we’re holding an exciting contest for all students and staff! Submit your original idea and win great prizes!
As part of the 35th anniversary celebrations of UJEP, we will also commemorate with special significance the life and legacy of Jan Evangelista Purkyně—the exceptional scientist who gave our university its name. A man of rich imagination and countless scientific discoveries can be an inspiration to many of us, and so we are interested in how we actually envision him across the thousands of individual interests and fields of expertise at our university. Join the university competition and create a work that interprets his personality, activities, or discoveries in your own way.
Who can participate?
UJEP students and staff. Entries may be individual or group projects.
What can you create?
The form is completely open. It could be, for example, a visual, musical, or literary work, a performance, a short video, a meme, a motto, or a recipe. There are no limits to your creativity.😊
What are the contest rules?
The work must be documentable via multimedia. Authors are responsible for resolving copyright issues regarding materials used in the work. By submitting their work, participants grant UJEP a free, non-exclusive license to use it for the presentation and promotion of the competition and UJEP, with authorship always credited.
How to apply?
Send an email to redakce@ujep.cz and include the authors’ names, their UJEP affiliation, a contact email address, an accompanying text explaining the purpose of the work, and attach a multimedia file documenting the work or a link to the file.
Deadline
August 31, 2026
Prize
The author of the winning project will receive prizes in kind as well as a cash prize of 20,000 CZK.
Let’s commemorate Purkyně’s legacy creatively—in our own way. We look forward to your ideas!
