Photo Contest

Guidelines

The contest will accept photographs taken by Ithaca College students while studying abroad, as well as photographs taken by international students in their home countries or in the US. There are two main categories of the contest: People and Places, as well as an additional special category: TBD. The photos must be original and taken by the students submitting them for the contest. We can accept only one entry per category per student for the contest; please contact International Programs if you would like to display more photos.

Special photo contest category - Transportation

Photograph Guidelines

Printing:
Photos will ideally be 5x7 (i.e. big enough to get a good sense of the photo but not too big to take up too much space) and will be matted. Please do not submit digital photographs to us.

You can easily have your digital photographs printed by going to:

• Walmart: http://photos.walmart.com/reprintscreateflow/prd=Prints
• Ritz Pix (at the Ithaca Mall): http://www.ritzpix.com/net/OrderPrints/
  
  * Both of these stores have one hour photo processing services and you can get there via TCAT. While there pick up a photo matte!
  
  NOTE:
  Be aware of the size of your digital photos. Photos should be at least 300dpi in order to print well. Emailing your photos could result in loss of quality. You may be better off taking a copy of the photo on a disk or flash drive to the store and then waiting for an hour while it gets developed.

Matting:
All photos will be matted. Please try to do this yourselves for best quality. If it cannot be arranged, bring us your photo(s) and we will paste them on a piece of poster board for you.

Description:
With the photos, please enclose your name, the title of the photo and which category it is for (and any other additional information on the topic, if you feel this is necessary). If this is a study abroad entry, also provide information on the program (when and where did you study). It is also essential that you provide us with your phone number and e-mail address, so that we can communicate with you.

Submission deadline

The entries must be submitted to the Office of International Programs, 214 CHS by 5 pm on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009.

Judging

The contest entries will be judged by popular vote: all visitors to the International Education Photo Exhibit will be invited to submit their vote for the best photo in each of the categories of the contest. First, Second, and Third place prizes will be awarded in each of the three categories (People, Places, and Transportation).
