Criteria, Jury, Rating
* Under 16-year-olds can participate if the declaration of consent (Zustimmungserklärung) signed by a parent or guardian has been sent to us in advance.
**Criteria for evaluation are not technical or artistic, but rather: What touches? What speaks to me? What challenges me? What intuitively or emotionally ensures that my understanding of the topic addressed is comprehensible / grows / possibly animates me to act...?
Everyone who visits the website and views the posts can give his or her rating in likes. These will be combined into an overall score. No distinction is made between genre groups.
The Jury is composed of people who support the pics4peace mission and project.
The ratings of the jury and website visitors apply equally. I.e.: The total result of the website visitors and the independent result of the jury are added up and divided by 2. No differentiation is made between the genres.
pics4peace
Why and since when?
pics4peace has been around since December 2017, when we started as an initiative. Since 2018 pics4peace is a non-profit association (e.V.). The idea and concept came from the former mayor of Würzburg, Dr. Pia Beckmann, who invented and founded pics4peace. It is a multimedia, non-partisan democracy project that wants to encourage young people to help shape their own future. It builds bridges to the decision-makers in our society.
Why?
- because shaping the future only makes sense with the participation of young people
- because a life in peace, freedom and democracy is worth every effort
- because young people communicate differently than older people
- because those responsible in politics, business and society need to know what moves young people,
- because facts and fakes are no longer so easy to distinguish today,
- because radical tendencies are on the rise in general, but also among young people,
- because there are again people who act openly anti-Semitic
- because the weaker members of our society need a strong voice
- because discussing the future can even be fun!
pics4peace builds bridges to politics
pics4peace is a bridge to politics. The association organizes the direct dialogue between young people and decision makers. Here counts the rule: No speeches. No taboos. Dialogue at eye level. There are no "unimportant" topics. Every topic that moves young people should be taken seriously!
Creative - online and offline
Forming an opinion and talking about it is often easier for young people with creative means of expression. Hence the access via the diverse artistic forms of expression and via ways that young people use: online and offline through workshops and dialogue events, the results of which are again made available online to everyone.
Contest 2018
Our 2018 competition theme was: "Against extremism, for democracy".

3 prizes, but much more winners
There were cash prizes only for the group of participants up to 29. The evaluation was done by likes and an expert jury.** All participants "30plus" competed out of competition and could be liked. They had the chance to be included in the final documentary film! But also everyone who visits this site and reads our news has won. Because: Your suggestions are a gain for decision makers. They can be guidelines for their decisions. And your entries are a gain for all those who did not know what was on your mind and those who feel strengthened and encouraged by your contributions to also express themselves. So congratulations to you all! You are super! And of course congrats to all winners! :-)
