Entry Rules and Guidelines
- Only current TU students who studied abroad or away while at TU are eligible to participate
- Entries must be submitted digitally and emailed to peeradvisor@towson.edu
- Submit the highest resolution version photo you have (300 dpi or higher)
- Photo entries must be original photographs either taken by the student or featuring the student while participating in a study/internship abroad or away experience
- Video entries must be original footage taken by the student or featuring the student while participating in a study/internship abroad or away experience. Videos may be a compilation of the student’s experience and are encouraged to be creative!
- Only one photo and one video entry per student (students may submit a photo or a video, or both!)
- Please include the following information in the email with your digital photo and video submissions: Name of Entrant, TU ID #, Location of Photo, Term of Study, and Short Blurb about the photo and/or video.
- Photos and videos should be representative of the student’s study abroad or away experience. Some things to consider:
- Does the photograph show the viewer anything about the destination’s local people, cultures, or traditions?
- Does the photograph show distinctive landmarks, cityscapes, or landscapes unique to the location? In other words, can you tell you are in a different country or state?
- Does the photograph show a student, or students, experiencing the culture, interacting with locals, or exploring their new environment?
- Want to submit a video but unsure what to do? Check out this amazing video from Faras Aamir, a former participant of the TU Corporate Communication in the UK program: Click here to view the video. Tell us your story! Your video can be as short or as long about anything you want related to your experience, such as:
- What did you learn?
- How have you grown?
- What was a day in the life like on your program?
- Who were the people?
- What recommendations would you share with your peers?
- Whatever you want!
