MDP Photo Contest
The Emory MDP photo contest is designed for students to share their experiences and demonstrate the breadth of their field practicums through photography. Winners are selected for each of two categories:
My Vantage Point: photos of people, locations and events encountered during the field practicum
Our Field Experience: photos featuring MDP students engaged in field practicum activities
Audience Choice: winner is selected by attendees of the Photo Contest from finalist images.
Participants agree to comply with photography code of ethics. For additional information on ethical communication practices for global development work see this article.
The contest is generously sponsored by the Laney Graduate School.
