  • Photos must have been taken as part of a Chazen global travel program (Study Tour, Global Immersion Program class, Chazen Block Week class, or MBA Exchange Program, Bridging the American Divides class)
  • Each student may submit a total of up to 5 photo entries
  • All photos submitted must have been taken by the entrants
  • All photos must have been taken on a Chazen program, in the city of that program, not during personal travel
  • All photos must be accompanied with captions to the specifications stated on the submission form
  • Entrants agree to allow their photos to be reproduced in Chazen promotional materials, website, and social media. Students’ name and graduation year may accompany uses of each photo

Step 1

Students will submit one word doc or PDF containing information and captions for each photo submitted. For your word doc/PDF:

  • In the top of the document, please include your First Name, Last Name, Graduation Year, CBS email address, and the Chazen program(s) you participated in that correspond to the photos
  • Include a unique caption for each photo submitted and number your captions
  • Save and upload this document with your name in the title, for example "FirstNameLastName"

Step 2

Students will upload each photo as a separate JPG or PNG file. Please do not embed photos in the word doc/PDF- these will not be reviewed as they need to be uploaded separately. For photo uploads:

  • For each photo, save and upload as "FirstNameLastName_photo1" "FirstNameLastName_photo2"
    • If your first name, last name, and number of photo are not labeled properly, we won't know it is yours and we can't consider your photo as a submission
  • Up to 5 photos can be submitted, no minimum required
  • Please upload photos with dimensions of 4032px for either a width or height, and 1.4 MB in size overall at the minimum

*Make sure you upload photos AND the word document, both are needed for your submission to be reviewed

Submit to the April 2024 Contest 

Judging Process

  • The Chazen Institute will review all photographs.

Tips

Suggested photo themes:

  • Favorite Memory (Personal Highlight of your Trip)
  • Favorite Place
  • Global Economy and Business (i.e. Company Visit)

Suggested photo guidelines:

  • Photograph in good light, such as mornings and late afternoon, or use a flash when natural light is poor.
  • Avoid touristy set ups, such as groups of students smiling in front of a landmark or cultural icon.
  • Avoid too much skin (while some trips take place in hot climates, we are unable to accept photographs of students in revealing clothing).
