Tigers Abroad Photo Contest

International Education Week

Each year the Tigers Abroad photo contest is held in recognition of International Education Week in November. University of Memphis students who studied abroad during the academic year are encouraged to apply.

Entries are judged on the ability to convey a cross-cultural experience in a single photograph. A cross-cultural experience can be defined as the portrayal of the essence of the student's study abroad experience. Photos of landscapes are accepted, however, it is preferred that photos exhibit cultural immersion in a country outside the United States. Participants may only enter one photo and the photo must be taken by the individual. All photos are accompanied with a text describing the cross-cultural component of the photo. Submissions are judged by a committee of University members. Entries are on display during International Education Week in November each year.

First, second, and third place winners receive travel vouchers. The 2010-2011 photo contest deadline has passed, the 2011-2012 photo contest deadline will be in October 2012.
