story contest
Tell your story
What are you discovering abroad - about the local culture, people, and yourself? How have your perspectives changed? We don't want a typical essay, but thoughts about your experience that will encourage others to take the bold step you did. The best stories are full of details of what you see, hear, feel, and experience abroad. Read about Fall 2008 Story Contest Winner, Jonah’s experience in France last year.
We need from you:
- Get creative - tell your story in an essay, a few paragraphs, a journal entry, or a poem
- Include a photo that illustrates your story
photo contest
Tell your story - in photos
Capture the essence of your experience overseas. Known monuments and scenes of natural beauty are great subjects-but so are moments you observed, secret places you found, and candid snaps of your host family and friends. We especially love pictures taken in the city or town you lived in. Show us how you immersed yourself in the culture at school, at home, in the community. Click here to see last year’s winner!
We need from you:
- Photos taken from a 4 mega pixel camera or higher
- Photos with a resolution of 300 dpi or higher
- Three photos maximum
- Two-sentence description of the photo including where it was taken
