Enter the 2018 Photo Competition

Sewing a Brighter Future - Jenna Zitmoer

                         2017 First Place:  "Sewing a Brighter Future" by Jenna Zitomer

A global perspective through photographs

The photographs in the Einaudi Center’s annual photo competition tell a story as diverse as the students who capture them.

The center sponsors the competition each year to highlight the diversity of international student research at Cornell, to inform the university community about this research, and to showcase the people and beauty of the places visited by Cornell students. 

Entries are exhibited at the Einaudi Center’s annual reception during International Education Week in November, where they are judged by invited guests. Winning photographs are then displayed in Uris Hall, home of the Einaudi Center.

Submission deadline is Friday, October 26, 2018.
