After two years in which the day of Sant Jordi was celebrated during the weekend, on April 23rd the UAB returned to live this day with a lot of activities. On the occasion of this celebration, the Sant Jordi Instagram Contest was organized by the Community Involvement Unit. The winning photographs awarded with a set of smartphone lenses have been those of Mercè Audí (@marilobigeis) and Cecilia Sanz (@silakotonaru).
 
The contest was open to the entire university community and the participants had to publish photographs of St. Jordi’s Day at the UAB, reflecting the dynamism of the UAB Campus and the different ways of living the festival through the activities that were carried out. Following the rules of the contest, the photographs had to be unpublished and original works and should be posted on Instagram during the 23rd, 24th and 25th of April. To upload them to the network, the participants had to follow the @comunitatUAB account and use #SantJordiUAB in the post.
