\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The 2012 AUIP Photo Contest is open to all AUIP alumni who have studied abroad on an AUIP program<\/a>. Alumni who entered previous AUIP photo contests are eligible to enter again this year with new photos never previously submitted for an AUIP contest.<\/p>\n

Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n

Photo submissions must be the entrant\u2019s original work. Photos must have been taken abroad during an AUIP program. Photos cannot be digitally modified or enhanced. The contest contains two categories this year: Local Culture and Memorable Places. Each entrant is limited to entering one photo in each category (i.e. one photo for Local Culture and one photo for Memorable Places). AUIP reserves the right to exclude any photos it deems to be inappropriate. All photos submitted can be used by AUIP in a number of places, such as the AUIP website, posters and slide shows. All photos must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, September 14, 2012.<\/p>\n

Submission<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two Categories:<\/p>\n

Local Culture (click here<\/a> for relevant example from 2011)<\/p>\n

Memorable Places (click here<\/a> for relevant example from 2011)<\/p>\n

To do so, on the AUIP fan page wall, post a photo (second button from left saying, \u201cPhoto\/Video\u201d) with a caption. Your caption should include: category being entered, photo title, your name, AUIP program and year, and home university.<\/p>\n
