Study Away Photo Contest
Fall 2011
Every semester, GEO sponsors a photo contest open to all KSC students who have studied away on semester or summer programs under GEO auspices. Six bookstore gift cards are awarded to the 1st and 2nd place winners in three categories, Global Engagement & Citizenship, General Study Away Experience, and Global Engagement & Citizenship - written description.
Photos are displayed and voted on for a week before the votes are tallied and posted. After the contest, the photos are placed in a long-term display case on the third floor of the Lloyd P. Young Student Center.
Enjoy the winning photographs from our Fall 2011 GEO photo contest!

"Favela On the Water" – Liselle Milazzo
Amazon River, Manaus, Brazil
This is one of the many of slums in Manaus, yet at first glance it looks beautiful, colorful and exotic. It's only when you really study the picture do you begin to see the deplorable conditions. Global citizenship means that we have a responsibility not to see what we want to see, but to see what is actually before us.
2nd Place for Global Engagement & Citizenship – written category
"Remember the Past" – Carolyn Fritz
Terezín, Czech Republic
While in Prague, my friends and I made it a point to visit one of the concentration camps used by the Nazis during the holocaust. It is a day and an experience which will remain with me for the rest of my life. This photo is of the cemetery for all the people killed in the concentration camp within the town. For me, this photo demonstrates that as global citizens, it is our responsibility to seek out the past, no matter how horrific it is, in order to remember, learn and grow from our mistakes as humans.
