Thanks to our graphic design experts at McRoberts Mitchell for selecting the winner. All photos were judged according to subject matter, composition, detail, and production quality.

For everyone else who entered, we offer sincere thanks. As you can see, the quality of entries was exceptional, so we had some hard decisions to make. A great many of your photos will be used in CIEE publications to give other students a real life perspective on study abroad.
