International Education Photo Contest

Click here for full contest rules and information. 

Categories: 

Each entrant may submit one photo for each of the following categories: 

• Newly Discovered Community:  Show us how you found your new community abroad! This could be a photo of your host institution or new friends from your new university! You can show examples of how you belong to your community abroad both locally and universally. From cooking in your host family’s kitchen to a view out your internship’s office building to students huddled in a university library – give us a real feel for wherever you were.
• Bentley Abroad: Show us your Bentley Pride overseas! The obvious example would be pictures of students in Bentley gear in front of famous landmarks, but feel free to get creative with interpreting this one!
• Landscapes: from stunning natural vistas to bustling urban scenes, this is your chance to show off the beauty of your temporary home!
• Exchange Students in the U.S.: Exchange students show us your favorite photo from your time here at Bentley and travels around the U.S.

All entrants are also automatically entered for a chance to win the Fan Favorite or Alumni Choice prize.
