The 2016 ACIS Photo and Video Contest Winners

The time has come to announce the winners of the 2016 photo and video contest! Over the course of the last year, we received dozens of photograph and video submissions from all over the world, all captured by our talented roster of student travelers. The judges certainly had their work cut out for them in deciding the finalists!

Students were asked to submit up to three photos to Instagram, Twitter, or our Facebook wall and use the hashtag #aciscontest. Or, they could upload a 3-5 minute video to YouTube. Then students sent us an email confirming the entry. The contest closed August 31st, 2016 and the judges began the tough job of sorting through the submissions.

The Facebook-people’s choice awards for photos and videos are still to be decided! Stay tuned to our Facebook page to vote for your favorite!
