What types of photos can be submitted?
New Categories for 2022:
-
Still Photography – Art, Architecture, Cityscape, and Landscape photos. Any photos depicting everyday life in your host country.
-
Bears Abroad Community – Pictures of you on your study abroad with your professors, classmates, and new friends from your host country!
-
Baylor Strong – Fling your Green and Gold afar! Have a photo of you doing a Sic Em', a picture with a bear statue, a picture with a live bear? Picture of you wearing Baylor swag? You get the idea. Send us your photos that highlight Baylor abroad.
How many photos can I submit?
A total of 3 photos, 1 for each category (see above). These photos must have been taken at some point during the study abroad program.
Do I have to submit 3 photos?
No, you don’t have to submit for each category (though we suggest you do!). But you cannot submit more than a single photo in any category.
Subject Matter
The only subject matter restriction is that your photo or photos capture an experience or observation abroad, not necessarily limited to your program location. (A student studying in the Netherlands, for example, could submit a photo taken in Switzerland during a trip.) . We encourage photographs that capture the heart of your experience.
How do I submit my entries?
All forms need to be submitted by September 1st, 2022. Photos must be attached in JPEG form.
Important Advisory
All submissions become the property of the Center for Global Engagement, which will enjoy full rights of display and circulation (with credit to the photographer). If you submit a photograph it is understood that you have given us this right.
We look forward to receiving your photos! Please direct any further questions to global_baylor@baylor.edu.
