The 1st prize in our nccr – on the move bag photo competition, launched following the Neuchâtel Graduate Conference for Migration and Mobility Studies 2024, is awarded to Théo Lefort. His striking photo, captured during fieldwork at the Iran-Turkey border, portrays a moment of rest on a cold day amidst the rugged mountainous terrain. This photo captures the challenges and beauty of border landscapes, offering a glimpse into migration research.

The 2nd prize goes to Samuel Okunade, whose photo showcases the dynamic life of Ibadan, Nigeria. Through his lens, we see an urban environment that inspires stories of movement and connection. Lisa Senecal claims the 3rd prize with her delightful depiction of Lisbon’s electrico, the iconic tram that travels through the city’s steep streets. Assisted by her daughter, Lisa’s photo captures the charm of this symbol of mobility.

Finally, a special mention is given to Saeed Husain, whose photograph of the Deosai Plateau in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region served as the inspiration for this competition. The photo, taken near Skardu, celebrates the grandeur and quietness of the landscape, reflecting the relationship between migration/mobility and the natural world.

Congratulations to all the winners! We would also like to thank everyone who participated. Stay tuned as we share more of these incredible photos in the lead-up to #neuchgradconf25.
