Once again this year, we are looking for a great new design for the Ersti bags 2025 – and one of you will decide what it looks like!

In cooperation with the Studierendenwerk Dortmund, we are therefore once again organising a freshers’ bag competition. Take part now and send us your design on the theme “The fabric university dreams are made of”.

By when? 15 August 2025
Where to? presse@asta.tu-dortmund.de
(subject: bag competition 2025 surname)

Please note the following details:
– a one-sided design in black on a white background
– one colour and print ready
– no writing (not even the motto!)
– no logos (TU logo allowed on the maths tower!)
– PDF file format, preferably as vector
– not too small, as super-fine lines cannot be printed well
– TU logo and Studiwerk logo will be added by us

We will select the winners – i.e. places one to three.
1st place: Your design on the first semester bags + 250€ prize money
2nd place: 150€ prize money
3rd place: €100 prize

Any questions? Feel free to write us (presse@asta.tu-dortmund.de)
Good luck!

In cooperation with Grenzenlose Wärme and Der Paritätische Nordrhein-Westfalen, the AStA presents: “Kein Land für Niemand – Abschottung eines Einwanderungslandes”. The documentary shows the reality at the EU’s external borders: sea rescues in the Mediterranean, catastrophic camp conditions, an asylum policy that moves away from humanity – and a Germany that sets the pace in the shift to the right. The documentary gives a voice to the people who have risked everything to escape – and to those who help where politics fails. A film about fear, isolation – and hope for a better future. Free Entry! Movie in German.

Direction: May Ahrens and Maik Lüdemann
