Part of One Week - One World
We call upon all of Rhodes University to take part in a photography competition, being held by the International Office.
The photographs will be judged by categories:
1. The best Traditional African Dress.
2. The best photo taken on a Rhodes University field trip.
3. The best photo taken by an International student in South Africa.
4. The best photo taken by a South African student travelling abroad.
5. The best photo from International Week at Rhodes (May 18th until AFRICA DAY May 25th).
6. The best photo that describes or represents Internationalisation at Rhodes University.
Every photograph requires a caption describing the essence of the photographic subject and identifying its International aspects/dimensions/links, as well as the category you are entering and your contact details (full names, email address, and cell number).
Please upload your photos onto the Rhodes University International Office Facebook page. From there, share the link with all your friends in as many platforms as you want, and the more views and likes you get the greater chance you have to win!
The deadline for entries is on 25 May, AFRICA DAY at midnight. The sharing/liking will then run for a further period of two weeks. Winners will then be announced on Facebook and will be contacted.

Please collect your prizes (R150 Pick 'n Pay vouchers) from the International Office in Eden Grove.
The International Office would like to thank everyone who uploaded photographs for the competition. We thought there were some beautiful photographs and may ask some of you, if we can use them in the future.

Matthew de Klerk
"My mate Dumi dressed up in traditional Swaziland garb on the international day parade. He would have also been sporting the national flag, for want of black paint, but we used red and blue, the two prominent colours on the Swaziland flag."

Category 2. The best photo taken on a Rhodes University field trip.
Khadija Sungeni Mussa
"Geography Honours Field Trip to Nieu-Bethesda. This photo was taken by an international student. The flowers surrounded by all the thorns was an interesting combination to have in the wilderness."

“This photo was taken in March 2012 when a bunch of us from the Mountain Climbing Club went on the Zingcuka Hiking Trail in Hogsback. We were all looking at the peaks and thinking ‘We have to CLIMB that!?’ At the front is Finnish exchange student Sanna Pönni, and other Rhodes students, Michael Manser, Dani De Klerk, Alli Carroll and Lezanne :) What an amazing experience :)”
