Congratulations to Our Fall 2019 Photo Contest Winners
Swinging through the Parisian sky, exploring a foggy mountainside castle, and enjoying the beauty of the Moroccan Sahara...study abroad is packed with some pretty unforgettable moments. Our Fall 2019 Photo Contest captures these moments in incredible ways.
With 482 submissions from students across five categories, including The Student Experience, Landscapes & Landmarks, The Global Classroom, Candid Moments, and Internships & Service Learning, the Fall 2019 Photo Contest competition was intense.
After a week of voting, approximately 4,000 votes were cast on Facebook and three winning photos came out on top. In addition to our winners, we recognized one photo as the IES Abroad Choice, which is selected based on quality of photo, craft, and originality.
Check out the winning study abroad photos:
