OIE Photo Contest

Humans are storytellers and those who participate in Georgia Tech study abroad programs or come from another country to study at GT are no different. Georgia Tech offers life-changing international opportunities-whether that's studying here in Atlanta, studying abroad, researching, or interning abroad. The Office of International Education (OIE) provides a platform for students to share those stories through the annual Photo Contest. Submissions are open to students that have been abroad this past academic year (Fall 2023 - Summer 2024).
 

We are now accepting applications! The winners will be showcased on November 21st, 2024 at the Photo Contest Reception.
