International Programs Photo Contest

The International Programs Office (IPO) will be holding a quarterly photo contest. Students can submit photos of their international travel for a chance to win a prize that will be ideal for international business and traveling abroad. 

Submission Directions

To submit, Fisher students can bring the photo in to the IPO (221 Mason Hall) or send the photo(s) to Tina Hrabak (hrabak_4@fisher.osu.edu). Photos submitted must be of the original size (not compressed) and be in .jpg, .gif or .bmp file formats.

Students should include information about where the photo(s) were taken, what program (if applicable), and a description (optional). You should receive a confirmation about receipt of your photos within one week.

Photos submitted may be uploaded to the International Programs Office Flickr Photo Pool, so your experience is shared with others.

Deadlines

• The submission deadline for the Spring Semester is February 8, 2013. 
• Photos selected to be entered into the voting phase will be uploaded to the IPO Facebook page on or around February 15, 2013. Voting will take place online through March 1, 2013. The photo with the most number of ‘likes’ will win (a panel of IPO judges will make the final decision in the case of a tie).  
• The winner for the Spring Semester contest will be announced on March 4, 2013.

Prizes

The grand prize winner each quarter of the IPO photo contest will win one of the following:

• Kindle or Nook
• Subscription to the Economist (great for the International Business class!)
• Noise cancelling headphones
• iPod Touch

• $250 scholarship to be applied to a future program with the IPO

The winner will be given product options and will be asked to choose one as his/her grand prize.
