Taunya Martin took two first place prizes in the 2nd Annual
International Photo Contest.
Martin, a junior majoring in family and human development,
won first place in both the judges' and people's choice prizes
for the people categorie of the contest. Her photo was titled
"Textured Thoughts" and depicts a small girl in Jamaica.
Other first-place winners include Mary Wharton with her photo
"Castle Bell," taken in Slovania and Melanie Andrus
with her photo "Chateax D'oex Landscape" from Switzerland.
Each of the winners recieved a $100 scholarship, an 8x10 enlargement
of her photo, a disposable camera and two gift certificates
for local restaurants.
Sarah Heiner, staff assistant for the Study Abroad office which
sponsored the contest, said the winners were chosen from among
69 entries.
"This is a great number," Heiner said. "Last
year there were only 24 entries. We were pretty excited."
The contest was divided into four categories including a judges'
and people's choice award for both "People" and "Places."
This is the second year the contest has been held as part of
International Education Week.
"It provides a chance for students who have travelled
abroad to share their exerience," Heiner said.
The theme for this year's contest was "A World of Possibilities"
