University of Tartu symbol hunt: Snap & Win University of Tartu merch!

We invite our international students to seek out the symbols representing the University of Tartu. The challenge is to find three symbols, take photos of them, and upload them to your Instagram account with the hashtag #utsymbolhunt. You can post them separately, in one post, or as a collage. Whether it’s university buildings, items with the logo, or anything else, get creative! It is up to you to decide if you want to be in the photo or not.

Three winners who upload three photos by 20 September will be randomly selected to win a UT hoodie or Tiksu socks. Please make sure your Instagram profile is public during the contest. Follow us on Instagram @unitartustudyabroad for details. By uploading, you grant the University of Tartu permission to share your images on our Instagram page.
