International Photo Exhibition 11 am – 3 pm November 13-14, 2007 Campus Center Lobby

Photo Contest

Guidelines

The contest will accept photographs taken by current Ithaca College students while studying abroad, as well as photographs taken by international students in their home countries or in the US. There are two main categories of the contest: People and Places, as well as an additional special category: Celebration (see below). The photos must be original and taken by the students submitting them for the contest. We can accept only one entry per category per student for the contest; please contact International Programs if you would like to display more photos.

NOTE: 8 x 10 inch photographs are the best size though any size is acceptable. Please submit printed copies to the Office of International Programs, NOT digital. Also, if it is possible, please matte your photographs. Photos can be returned after the contest, though the office is interested in keeping winning photographs or, at least, scanning them before returning them.

Submission deadline

The entries must be submitted to the Office of International Programs, 214 CHS by 5 pm on Wednesday, November 7. With the photos, please enclose your name, the title of the photo and which category it is for (and any other additional information on the topic, if you feel this is necessary). If this is a study abroad entry, also provide information on the program (when and where did you study). It is also essential that you provide us with your phone number and e-mail address, so that we can communicate with you.

Judging

The contest entries will be judged by popular vote: all visitors to the International Education Photo Exhibit will be invited to submit their vote for the best photo in each of the categories of the contest. First ($100), Second ($50), and Third ($25) prizes will be awarded in each of the three categories (People, Places, Celebrations).

Study Abroad Ticket Raffle.

The Director of the Office of International Programs will draw one of the student votes submitted for the Photo Contest. Entries for the raffle will be received until the closing of the Exhibition at 3 pm on November 14. Only raffle entries which are completely filled out will be entered in the drawing. Multiple entries will be removed. The winner of the raffle will receive a free round-trip ticket from New York City to London/Western Europe, or the equivalent of that ticket, to be applied towards a study abroad destination. The ticket can be used only for travel for study abroad on an Ithaca College-approved program (short-term or semester-long). The recipient of the raffle price must be a full-time Ithaca College student during the time of travel.

Special photo contest category: Celebration. How and what do people celebrate? We would like to see your photos of festivals, ceremonies, weddings, religious services, musical gatherings, carnivals, festivities, and other forms of merry-making you have observed around the world.
