What makes you feel at home? In Knoxville, or in your home country, what aspects make you feel connected to your culture? It could be a traditional dish, a landmark or place, or a group of people! For the Spring 2020 International Photo Contest, we invite participants to submit a photo that displays what “My Home” means to them!
The International Photo Contest is a platform for current students to submit photos they have taken that they believe best represent what is unique about different cultures. This contest is held each semester, and prizes are awarded to the winners, which are voted on by a panel of judges.
