Spartans Abroad Photo Contest

Here's a chance to share your favorite study abroad experiences through the 16th annual Spartans Abroad Photo Contest!

To enter the contest, you must be a student who has participated in, and earned credit in, an MSU-sponsored study abroad program. This includes current students as well as recent graduates; MSU students as well as students from other universities who went on an MSU program.

Winning entries will be selected on the best quality photographs that convey a strong sense of place or express a cross-cultural experience in one of the following categories:

1. PEOPLE: Children, adults, families, self portraits
2. NATURE: Plants, landscapes, waterscapes, wildlife
3. ARCHITECTURE: Buildings, cityscapes, landmarks
4. SPARTANS ABROAD: Students wearing MSU attire or displaying Spartan pride

Judges will be looking for interesting, compelling, exciting and awe-inspiring photos that evoke emotion about your experience abroad.

Winning photographs will be displayed at various campus events (such as the Study Abroad Fair), on the Web, and shared with other MSU departments/units interested in helping promote the study abroad program here at Michigan State University. Prizes will range in value up to $100.

Information about the 2012 contest will be posted at a later date.
