Calling all BU faculty, staff, and students—

Global Programs wants to showcase your photos! We know you’ve traveled the world and now we want to show the world just how far you’ve gone.

All current faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to submit up to three photos to our inaugural BU Global Photo Contest. We are looking for quality photos that capture the essence of global engagement, whether you have conducted research abroad, studied in a foreign country, or have given back through service projects. Help us highlight the ways our BU community thoughtfully engages with the world.

First, second, and third place photos will be awarded prizes and showcased on the BU Global Programs website. Other photos may be used online and in print publications. Please carefully read the submission instructions below to make sure that your photo(s) are eligible.
