2) Free Student Exchange Opportunity to the Beijing Olympics
Free Student Exchange Opportunity to the Beijing Olympics
Submission Deadline: April 15th
Hello! I am a junior at Harvard University working with students from Harvard, Tsinghua, and Peking Universities to bring 6 North American students to the Beijing Olympics this summer.
Our project, called the IMUSE 2008 China in my Eyes Competition, involves writing a 500-1000 word essay or submitting one or several photographs on the topic "China in my Eyes: What China Means to Me." The topic is left purposely open-ended to encourage creative thought.
The following students will be selected as IMUSE 2008 student ambassadors to participate in an all-expenses-paid trip to the Beijing Olympics, which includes travel, accommodations, and dining at one of our Chinese student delegate's homes, and tickets to Olympic events (or, should they choose, a free laptop):
1) Three winners from the essay competition
2) Two winners from the photo competition
3) One winner from our "My Top Ten" survey
Ten runners-up for each competition will each receive a limited-edition 2008 Beijing Olympics collectible.
Select entries will be published on the IMUSE website with permission of their authors.
The deadline for all three contests is April 15th, 2008.
You are also encouraged to join our Facebook group "China in My Eyes Essay and Photography Competition."
Very sincerely,
Kelley Swanberg
