Humans are story tellers and those who participate on 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) seeks to enable those students to share their stories through their own personal lens through the annual Photo Contest.

The annual Office of International Education Photo Contest is open to all students who studied and/or interned abroad this past academic year, as well as international students! The winners will be awarded prizes at the photo contest reception in November.
