AIFS Capture the Culture Photo Contest
We're looking for pictures that "capture the culture" and your experience abroad. The bakery owner opening his shop in the morning on the streets of Grenoble... your friends studying over an espresso in Florence... a landmark... whatever makes you remember that special time and place that defined your trip overseas.
Whether its the perfect candid shot or a staged shot of your own design, we want to experience the essence of your time abroad and the country's culture through your eyes! Be creative, but no computerized effects or altered images please.
