Study Abroad returnees will receive an email from our office with more information after they have returned from abroad.

Submit a photo of yourself participating in a local activity, in the local culture or with the local population in your host country.
(2) Nature & Cityscape

(4) The World is Your Classroom
Submit a photo of yourself engaging and learning abroad either in the classroom, on a class excursion or in a nontraditional education setting.
WRITING CONTEST
Any submission with a focus on the written word is welcome. The best submissions are those that go beyond a day-to-day account and are reflective, amusing and/or reminiscent of the spirit of a place. Possibilities include non-fictional or fictional prose, poetry, and blogs. Entries can include photos and illustrations. Submissions should be 3 pages max. (not including photos or illustrations) and submitted as Word documents or a link to a blog.
FILM CLIP CONTEST
Film clips should reflect the kind of cultural immersion and observations that can be experienced through engaging with the culture of your host country rather than a touristic approach. Films (5 min max) can be submitted via email providing the URL to your film.
