Travel
Video Contest Winner |
 The 2013
InternationalStudent.com Travel Video Contest was a great
success!
Each year we look forward to the Travel
Video Contest, as it lets us see just how talented, passionate and
creative our students are. With over 100 entries, this year was the most
competitive ever. The videos were well-planned, well-written and
well-shot - we got to witness an amazing group of stories. The toughest
part of the contest is always choosing Finalists and then choosing
Winners - with only 3 winners, over 100 entrants do not win a prize, but
many of those entries are equally deserving. Take a look!

Our Grand Prize Winner of $4,000 was Khairul Amin Kamarulzaman for his
amazing video “POSTCARD”
- it won both the Grand Prize, and the Viewer’s Choice for most viewer
votes. You can follow Khairul as he implements his Postcard project in
his very
own blog on InternationalStudent.com.

A big congratulations to Khairul and each of our talented finalists.
Make sure you see who walked away with the second
and third place titles!
