Overall Winner

"An Alley in the City of Alicante"
Janay Hagen
University of Colorado at Boulder
CIEE Study Center in Alicante, Spain

This picture was taken on my last day in Alicante. My parents flew out to visit me and my dad and I were taking a walk in the city before heading to the hotel to pack our things. It was becoming real to me that we were leaving, and I started to think of all the memories I had of the past six weeks. I wasn't really paying attention to where we were walking and I started to lead us in the wrong direction. That was when we came across this alley. You would have never known it was there - it was down a random street and could not be seen by the roads. It was such a unique sight and although I had been living here for almost two months I was surprised to see something new. It was experiences like this that made me really appreciate the city, and the chance I had to study abroad.
