Uncharted Territories: 2012 Study Abroad Video Contest Winners

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a 90 second video worth?

UI students submitted videos from their study abroad experiences for a chance to win cash prizes in a new video contest this year from International Programs -- “Uncharted Territories.” The contest was held as part of International Education Week [1] in addition to the annual photo contest “Show Us the World through Your Eyes” for study abroad and international students and the “Coming to America” essay contest for international students.
