Students in the College of Arts + Architecture are among the winners in the Office of Education Abroad Study Abroad Photo Contest. The winning photos and images by other participants are now on view online in the 11th Annual Study Abroad Photo Exhibit, presented in a virtual gallery.
In January the Office of Education Abroad invited students who participated in study abroad programs during the 2019 calendar year to submit photos to the photo contest. Students were eligible to submit to four juried categories: Landscape, Portrait, Self-Portrait, and Defining Moment. A non-competing category, Traveling 49ers, invited students to submit photos demonstrating their Niner pride while abroad.
Fifty-five students from across the University submitted more than 160 photographs for consideration. Photographs were judged by a four-member panel, and those with the highest scores are on display. Each category has first, second, and third place winners, as well as pictures receiving honorable mention.
Among the students receiving recognition are the following from the CoA+A:
Lea Rose Allbaugh, Department of Dance, who won first place in the Self-Portrait category for her photo, “When in Rome” (pictured above).
Chelsea Giroux, School of Architecture, who won first place in the Portrait category for her photo, “Perspective,” and received an honorable mention in the Landscape category for her photo, “Crystal Clear.”
