Global Programs Photo Contest
The event that we eagerly look forward to each year has finally arrived; the Global Programs Photo Contest. Last year 311 of you submitted a total of 806 photos! It was not easy choosing the 12 finalists; there were so many amazing shots. As we anticipate the judging won’t be getting any easier this year, we are thrilled that Professor Peter Southwick, Director of the Photojournalism Program at COM, has agreed to be one of the judges again. We cannot wait to see and share all of the inspirational experiences the BU community is photographing around the city and the world.
This year’s theme is Changing Perspectives. We are looking for images that evoke how your global experience changed your perspective. Again this can be anywhere in the world including Boston. We are asking for a brief write up (one to two paragraphs maximum) to accompany each entry describing the impact the experience had on you and how your perspective has changed.
We will be posting selected submissions throughout the contest to our Instagram account @buglobalprograms.
The Contest: All members of the BU community are eligible to submit up to three photos from global experiences they have had through their affiliation with the University. Top three judged photos will win a prize and be featured on the Global Programs website. (All submitted photos may be used online, in print publications, or displayed on campus.)
