More than 370 photos were submitted to the 2011 International Photo Competition sponsored by USF World. Now in its sixth year, the annual competition offers students, professors, staff and alumni an opportunity to share their international experiences with the university community.

A majority of the photos submitted came from students taking part in Education Abroad, USF's international study abroad program, currently offering more than 35 international learning opportunities spanning five continents.

In a first for the competition, entries into the 2011 contest were posted on Facebook, allowing viewers to vote on their favorites. By the competition's end on Oct. 31, the site had registered more than 500 "likes." The photo with the most likes was deemed the "USF Favorite," one of 13 award categories in the competition.

The International Photo Competition offers a glimpse into the myriad of opportunities to be a global citizen at USF, where international enrollment on the Tampa campus is up 20 percent for the fall semester.

"The International Photo Competition is a great way to showcase the places and activities our students and faculty have taken part in overseas," says Karen Holbrook, senior vice president for Research, Innovation & Global Affairs. "From research initiatives to language immersion programs, we hope these photos inspire all of the USF community to get involved globally."
