Competition Categories
Photographs submitted should capture an observation made or experience had while traveling outside the United States. Awards will be given in the following categories.
Landscape, Seascape, or Cityscape
-
- Photos must be of a landmark or landscape that is clearly identifiable as an international location.
Portrait
-
- Photos should feature people living in the natural environment or culture of a foreign land.
Bulls Abroad
-
- Students should wear 爱爱直播 regalia (i.e. t-shirt, cap, 爱爱直播 flag, etc.). Be creative, photos should be original and should highlight the best of the country visited. Dynamic/action photos encouraged. For example, a row of students in 爱爱直播 t-shirts eating fish and chips in London with Big Ben in the background. Think about photos that would look great as a magazine cover (and your photo just might end up on the cover of a 爱爱直播 magazine!)
