Dear readers:

One of my favorite photos from my Paris abroad journey has been selected as a finalist for the student abroad photos for the program. I submitted my top 4 favorites in December (that was a VERY challenging task, mind you, with over 5,000 photos to choose from) and 1 was selected to participate with a total of 80 photos in the actual contest. I’m honored! Not only that, but I really want to win. I get a cash prize which would be awesome, but also I’m pretty sure they use our photos for their marketing materials and general beautification of their program and that’s pretty cool too.

All you need to do is click the photo below, and it will take you directly to the Facebook page, and you only have to make a small click of your finger and hit the “like” button. The photo under each category with the most “likes” gets selected as a winner. Currently I have 107 likes, and the top photo in my category has 138… I can do this!

The winner gets chosen next week, March 14, so please help me out and share with your friends if they saw my blog during my abroad travels and enjoyed my photos!

As an aspiring photographer, this is kind of a big deal to me, as I’m sure it is to all the contestants. Looking through the other photos I am awed and inspired, and definitely a little jealous that I’m not still out exploring the world.

Thank you!
