State Contest Seeks Study Abroad Photos
Any student currently attending a Missouri college or university could win up to $200—just for submitting a photo.
Study Missouri, a collaborative project among Missouri colleges and universities, is hosting a photo contest for snapshots taken during students’ study abroad experiences. The contest includes cash prizes for each category, international and study away, and all high-quality entries will be displayed for International Education Day Feb. 16 in the Missouri State Capitol rotunda.
Photographs must feature a country where the photographer attended college and photos must be “true to life” without alternations such as photoshopped objects or people.
The grand prize winner will receive $200, first place winners will receive $150, second place will receive $100 and third place winners will receive $75. All prize money will be applied to educational expenses for the recipients.
Deadline for entry is 11:59 p.m. Central Standard Time Feb. 2. To submit an entry, attach photos to an e-mail entitled “Photo Contest” and send to StudyMissouriPhotoContest@gmail.com. In the text of the e-mail, students should include their name, whether they are an international student or a study away student, the name of the Missouri institution attended, the name of the country where the picture was taken and the date of the photo. Students should also include a caption of no more than 100 words describing where the photo was taken and why the photo is significant to them. For any questions, call 573.522.1463.
