IIE Announces its 4th Annual Photo Contest

Running now through December 14th, 2012

This is an opportunity for you to:

  • Share the importance of your work
  • Inspire other grantees
  • Gain artistic recognition
  • Win prizes!

The Institute of International Education is requesting photos for use in our printed and Internet-based communications that tell the visual story of IIE and the students/scholars/teachers that participate in our programs. Our goal is for the viewer to communicate the breadth of our work and the impact of our programs.

IIE is seeking a well-rounded group of images that represent the international scope of our work, not only geographically, but also in ethnicity, age, and the multidisciplinary aspect of their work. It is important that photos show participants in professional situations that are representative of their field of study or profession.

Please help us demonstrate the vibrancy of IIE by submitting engaging photos of our programs at work.

Only valid contestants will be considered. Valid contestants include any grantees since 2009 from any of IIE's 200+ programs. The deadline for submission is 12 PM ET December 14th, 2012. Winning photos may be used in IIE-related communications such as Annual Report, marketing materials, websites, and videos.

CONTEST RULES

  1. All photos submitted to the IIE Photo Contest must be of a grantee or grantees during the course of their fellowship/grant year.
