Wildlife Photography Challenge
When? Until September 18th
Where? Wherever you are
What? Shoot a pic and win a prize!
This summer we encourage you to explore your surroundings and its wildlife, and draw connections with the climate crisis. Don’t worry: you don’t need a fancy camera to participate! Just submit a picture along with a paragraph about the animal you’re shooting and the impacts climate change can have on it.
The submitted photographs will be reviewed by us and the Fotokomission and we will select 10 of them for an exhibit. You can then walk away with your A2 photograph on photo paper (or A4 on fine-art paper). Additionally, one of the ten photographs will be selected by the audience and a special prize will be won!
Submit your photograph(s) by emailing outreach@ssc.ethz.ch with the subject “Wildlife photography contest”. We look forward to seeing your submissions!

Our Accomplishements in 2022
As a commission dedicated to promoting sustainability at ETH Zurich, we strive to be the first point of contact for all ETH students who have an interest in sustainability.
Our efforts include the collaboration with various organizations and departments to advance sustainability practices on campus, organization of events such as the mirror COP27 and supporting events such as the Nachhaltigkeitswoche Zürich.
Last but not least, we are keen to support any innovative sustainability projects.
We hope this report highlights the various progress we have been part of and inspires continued action towards a more sustainable future.
Come meet us! 
Our office is located at ETH CAB, office E14. Shoot us an email before-hand to make sure one of us will be there when you drop by.
