In the 2021 USR Month, the University of Pretoria (UP) organised a photography competition that called upon students to submit an image that encapsulates a social responsibility project that they are involved in. Eight winners, whose submissions highlighted their commitment to community engagement were selected, and each won UP Shop vouchers ranging from R100 to R1500.
UP thanks all the students who entered the competition. They have shown UP’s positive impact on people’s lives and proved once again that UP’s students live THE UP WAY.
