CEPA Student Photo Contest Winners


Congratulations to the winners of our 2024 study abroad photo contest!

Thank you to all students who participated.

Happy International Education Week!

The CEPA team is proud to be part of the international education community and to support students and faculty in their exploration of Europe. To join in the celebration of IEW, we will showcase the winners of the 2024 CEPA Study Abroad Photo Contest during the course of the week on our social media channels!

Student participants on CEPA faculty-led, summer, and semester programs have submitted fantastic photos, and we cannot wait to share our favorites with you all!

1st place

Photographer: Alissa Katsaras

College: University of Florida: Medicine, Microbiology and Health

Faculty Leader: Dr. Monika Oli and Dr. Elizabeth Gadsby

Title of my photo: “Expanded Horizons”

Category: You in Europe

Photo Location: Schwangau, Bavaria at the top of the Ammer Mountains

Date: May 19th, 2024

Description: “I had just learned in Physics 2 the prior semester that the eye is capable of seeing to infinity unless interrupted by something. I didn’t really understand how that was true until I was able to see the horizon for the first time.”

2nd place

Photographer: Alexis Chin

College: University of Florida

Faculty Leader: Dr. Monika Oli, Dr. Elizabeth Gadsby

Title of my photo: “Giant Pretzel!”

Category: Landscapes and Culture

Photo Location: Vienna, Austria

Date: May 12, 2024

Description: “Not only was I in awe of the beautiful landscapes, but as you can see from my face, the local foods as well! This extremely large and freshly-made pretzel was absolutely divine and was enjoyed by all my friends and myself.”

3rd place

Photographer: Quinlan Harris

College: Arizona State University

Faculty Leader: Paul LePore

Category: You in Europe

Title of my photo: “Once Upon A Study Abroad”

Location: St. Olaf’s Church, Tallinn, Estonia

Date: May 23, 2024

Description: Tallinn, Estonia, is known for the preservation of its medieval architecture. I had so much fun exploring Estonia and all of its grand arches, colorful buildings, and intricate designs. Everywhere I turned there was so much detail and thought put into the design of the buildings including this arched doorway of St Olaf’s Church.

Honorable Mentions

Photographer: David Fashokun

College: University of North Florida

Faculty Leader: Dr. Josh Gellers

Category: Courses and Classes

Title of my photo: Divided by Origin, United by Heart

Photo Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

Date: June 12, 2024

Description: This is a group of us on our field trip to the Middelgrunden Wind Farm trying to jokingly arrange ourselves in the order of our skin tones. I think it fits this category because of the reason and randomness of the photo also. We were all tired during this day, but this little gimmick helped to lighten up our mood. (that’s me in the black puffer jacket)

Photographer: Kylie House

College: Georgia College and State University

Faculty leader: Dr. Harold Mock

Title: “A Day In The Life Of Switzerland”

Category: Landscapes and Culture

Photo Location: Lake Brienz, Switzerland

Date taken: June 14, 2024

Description: “This photo captures the stunning Swiss Alps surrounding a turquoise lake that brought chills and smiles! This hidden gem gave us the opportunity to meet with locals for advice on how to navigate the waters and see this beautiful waterfall. We participated in different water sports such as a sit-on-top kayak and pedalo as we ventured into new European territory.”

Photograher: Aiden Risher

College: University of Southern Mississippi

Faculty Leader: Keltoum Rowland

Title of my photo: “The Asamkirche: Dramaticism and Detail”

Category: Landscapes and Culture

Photo Location: Munich, Germany

Date taken: April 12, 2024

Description: “During my journey in Europe, I have tried to capture the beauty in every location that I visit, and the Asamkirche is far from an exception. This beautiful rococo-styled church is full of intricate details at every single point. Capturing such beauty all throughout Europe has been my goal not only for the principle of admiring such gorgeous, historic works of art but also to have the memories of my experience here.”
