Today is the last day to enter those perfect snapshots from your world travels in the International Student Service's second annual "My Place in the World" photo contest.
Photo submissions are due tonight, Nov. 10, at midnight. Students, faculty and staff can enter one photo for each category: people and "best moments abroad," landscapes and architecture.
The submissions will be posted on the ISS Facebook page from Nov. 14-18, where photos will be judged by the number of "likes" received. The winning submissions will be announced at International Night in the Bauccio Commons on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 5:30 p.m. According to the UP Portal announcement, winners will receive "fantastic travel-themed prizes."
The contest is meant to bring awareness to International Education Week, happening Nov. 14-18. According to junior Teresa Do, International Education Week coordinator, the challenge is meant to showcase the many "places" we create in the world.
"It doesn't have to be the place you are born," Do said. "When we travel we create different places we can always look back to."
To enter your travel photo in the contest, submit photos today to iss@up.edu or bring them to the ISS Office at Christie Hall 022 to be scanned.
