ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Entrants must be students who have participated in a study abroad program. This includes current students as well as recent graduates. 

A maximum of two entries per student may be submitted and must be original, un-altered, and un-manipulated work (no professional photos or digitally enhanced photos). Images may be color, black & white, or sepia. 

Photos must have been taken by the entrant during the entrant's study abroad program.  

Photos that include drug use or other illegal activities will not be accepted. Defamatory, slanderous, obscene, threatening, hateful, or otherwise offensive photos are also prohibited. 

All entries must be submitted via the online submission form below. 

Photos must be JPG files (highest resolution possible) and be titled to correspond with your entry. 

By entering the contest, you will be giving the Office of Study Abroad permission to use your photo(s) in various marketing activities, publications, and/or on the Web for the purpose of promoting Study Abroad at Cal Poly Pomona. This means all photos, not just winning entries, will be eligible for inclusion in such activities.  

AWARDS

Winning entries will be selected on the best quality photographs that convey a strong sense of place or express a cross-cultural experience in one of the following categories: 

• LIFE ABROAD: Photos that show students engaging in the local culture or participating in program-related activities. 
• CPP ABROAD: Photos of students wearing CPP attire or displaying Bronco pride. 
• STUDYING ABROAD: Photos highlighting your student experience, your host campus, or on-campus event.

Applicants may write an optional description about why their photo fits the category and how the subject or event inspired the photo. 

Staff from the Office of Study Abroad will judge the entries, looking for the most interesting, compelling, exciting and awe-inspiring photos that evoke emotion about your experience abroad. 

The winning photo in each category will be awarded a gift card from the Bronco Bookstore. Only one award per entrant will be given. Honorable mention awards will also be chosen for each category. 

Winners will be officially announced before International Education Week.

Judges decisions are final.
