Photo Contests
Students who studied abroad during Fall 2022, Spring 2023, Summer 2023, Fall 2023, or Interim 2024 are invited to participate in the 2024 Study Abroad Photo Contest. Entries are due by 5 pm on Friday, February 16. Send entries, release form, and any questions to internationalprograms@wofford.edu.
Students can submit one photo per category listed below for a total of up to four entries (students are not required to submit a photo for every category). A panel of judges comprised of Wofford faculty and staff will choose a winner for each category. There will also be a "People's Choice" winner for the photo that gets the most likes on the International Programs' Facebook Page. Voting for all prizes will close at noon on Friday, February 23 and winners will be announced shortly after on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages. Each winner will be awarded a prize of $250.
