And the winner is . . . . . Jedd Ticar currently studying with CEA in Granada, Spain! Jedd’s winning entry was #19 in a line-up of 21 incredible study abroad photo albums. With an overwhelming 870 votes, Jedd’s album won her the $250 grand prize and a showcase in the 2009-2010 CEA Viewbook, being distributed on campuses next year all over the US! Congratulations Jedd! With views of downtown Granada, incredible shots of the Albaicin, views of Seville and Cordoba during CEA sponsored excursions and the amazing celebrations that take place in Granada during Semana Santa, this winning album is not to be missed.
Our 2008 spring students exceeded our expectations and submitted 21 albums, full of stunning shots of their host cities, their excursion experiences and more. Almost 2,500 votes were cast over the course of the voting week! As all photos were taken through our students’ own perspectives, it’s obvious that studying abroad means something personal and something different to everyone. We loved seeing shots from Buenos Aires, Paris, Granada, Cork, the French Alps, Florence, the French Riviera, Aix-en-Provence, Rome, Seville, London, San Jose, Sydney and Barcelona, representing more than half of CEA’s 26 study abroad destinations around the globe!
By the way, the 1st runner up was the Aix-en-Provence entry #13 album, shot by Christina Reynier with 759 votes.
View the winning photo album on the CEA Study Abroad Photography Blog. Thanks to everyone who submitted and voted. The summer photography contest will begin in July, so look on the CEA website for details about voting!
