JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In its 14th year, the Travel Video Contest presented by InternationalStudent.com is now open for 2019 submissions. Students will have the opportunity to win one of five unique prizes this year. Along with the $4,000 cash prize, the grand prize first place winner receives their own blog on InternationalStudent.com to document their international journey to the world.
To enter, students must be at least 18 years old and submit a video made specifically for the 2019 Travel Video Contest, discussing one of two things:
Current international students will discuss a trip they would like to take.
Students with study abroad ambitions will discuss the school they would like to attend.
"Traveling and studying around the world is a dream for most students, but unfortunately it does not come cheap. Tuition costs, accommodation, books, and flight all add up and can sometimes be a real burden for students. That is why we started the Travel Video Contest over a decade ago, so that students can tell their stories and turn that into an opportunity to fund their dreams," said Bryanna Davis, Director of InternationalStudent.com.
Student videos must be four minutes or less, and all eligible submissions will be judged by an esteemed panel of international education professionals. This year's judges include:
Matt Bratin, 2006 Grand Prize Winner
Sandy Florez, 2009 Grand Prize Winner
Dana Brolley, Director of International Recruitment, Seattle University
Mina Morgan, President, The Language Company
Sherif Barsoum, Associate Vice President for Global Services at New York University
Troy Peden, Founder, GoAbroad.com
Ruth Kamona, University Director for International Student and Scholar Services at the City University of New York
Dr. Cory Owen, Associate Dean of Student Development at The Juilliard School
Prizes this year allow the possibility for five different students to win five different cash totals:
First Place Winner: $4,000
Second Place Winner: $500
Third Place Winner: $250
GoAbroad Choice Winner: $500
Viewers' Choice Award Winner: $1,000
"By simply submitting a video telling us about their dreams and goals, students' lives can be changed forever. Having access to study internationally or travel the world enriches a student's life in immeasurable ways, and we are thrilled to be a part of that," said Davis.
Entries must be received by October 15th, 2019. In an effort to highlight the international education sector, the grand prize winner and runner-ups will be announced on November 22nd, 2019, the last day of International Education Week, a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education
