Photo & Writing Contests

INTERNATIONAL PHOTO CONTEST 2012

Deadline: October 12, 2012

Share your travel experiences by entering our annual International Photo Contest! Temple students may submit photos of their travel and/or study abroad experiences from outside of the United States. Winning photos will be on exhibit at the Howard Gittis Student Center during the Global Temple Conference in November and will be displayed on the Education Abroad website and in our office. Winners will also be awarded prizes.

There are two categories for the contest: Owls Abroad and Artistic Vision. We are looking for unique images that capture the moment and tell a story. Impress us with photos of you or your friends abroad, where you lived, or what you saw or experienced. Photos will be judged by a faculty/staff panel. In addition, entries to the Owls Abroad category will be on display for student judging in our office.

Owls Abroad

Put yourself in the picture! Show us your best shots of you or your peers abroad, a photo that will make others want to study abroad; a shot that makes a statement about your experience or shows you interacting with the host culture.

Artistic Vision

This category is designed for photos of amazing places, landscapes, landmarks, people, and culture. Share with us your international adventure!

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL WRITING CONTEST 2012

Deadline: April 6, 2012

Education Abroad is sponsoring its annual Undergraduate Travel Writing Contest! There are two categories from which to choose: 1) Travel Essay and 2) Short Fiction. The theme for both categories is International Insights. Any undergraduate can submit a short story or essay-- your entry should be inspired by an international experience that has helped you gain some insight about another country or culture, about your own country or culture, or about international travel in general. Ideal submissions will expose something specific and resonant about the country you visited, placing it within the context of your experience as a student abroad.

Prizes include Barnes and Noble gift cards of up to $100, and winning pieces will be published here on our website.
