Announcing the winners of the 2018 Landmark College International Photo Contest!

 

We received more than 50 entries from students and alumni for the 2018 International Photo Contest. The judges had a hard time picking but in the end chose a winner and two runners-up in three categories. We also held a “popular vote” at lunch on campus on November 14, 2018, and students, faculty, and staff were able to choose from a selection of finalists. Congratulations to all our winners, and thanks to all those who entered!

Judges&#rsquo; Picks

In judging the photos for this year’s photo contest, there were a number of photos that individual judges were fond of, which may not otherwise fit into our categories and were not awarded other prizes. Each judge picked one photo for a special mention.

“Barrels of Sake” (Japan) by Katie Godowski, chosen by Kari Post; “Enzo the Yorkshire Terrier” (Guatemala) by Celina Novella, chosen by Todd Miller; “Boats in Ireland” by Caroline Hubley, chosen by Jessica Lindoerfer; “Hike at Ram Head Peninsula” (St. John, USVI) by Alyssa Partington, chosen by Jen Morris.
