Education Abroad

Photo Contest

The Center for Global Engagement knows you have amazing stories to share and a lot to say about your time abroad. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Think back on all the amazing moments you captured, the stories your pictures can tell, and what you want the world to see from your study abroad experience. Submit to the Study Abroad Photo Contest! The top two winners in each category receive cash prizes and will also have their photos utilized in CGE marketing.

Submit your photos here!

Categories and Eligibility
- - Cities, Landscapes, and Skylines – Photos of fascinating places, new things you discovered, and scenic views of city, sky, and nature! Show us the places you explored, from cathedrals to beaches to scenic overlooks, and the sunsets you never want to forget. These photos can include people.
  - Food Abroad – Photos of all the delicious food you got to eat while you were abroad. Whether it’s a home-cooked meal from your host family or the craziest street food you’ve ever tried, we want to see the incredible treats you enjoyed. People may also be in the photo as long as food is pictured as well.
  - My Global Classroom – Studying abroad means learning not only within the walls of the classroom, but from the city you get to immerse yourself in. This category can include anything that fascinated you, changed your perspective, or just inspired you. Whether it’s a portrait of your host mom and her pet, a colorful photo of a village festival, or a shot of you and your classmates doing a group project in the city streets, tell us a human story of your host country in images. Both photos that you took of others and photos that you are in are accepted.
