CIEE Fall 2005 Photo Contest

We are delighted to announce the results of the CIEE photo contest. We asked all Fall 2005 CIEE Study Center participants to submit photographs from their study abroad experience. We emphasized our desire for photos that show the student’s interaction with the host community – true cultural immersion – and you’ll see below that we were successful!

The photo contest was a grand success. We received many original images that ranged from the comical to the iconic which all portray how a CIEE program can influence its participants.

For all the other participants who contributed to the contest, thank you. The final choices were difficult to make due to the outstanding work that was entered, and we appreciate the effort that went into creating these amazing photographs.
