16th Annual Travel Video Contest Now Open
Our Travel Video Contest is now underway for its 16th year of competition. To honor international students, educators and advocates, the contest is in line with International Education Week (IEW). Entries will be accepted until 11:59 PM Eastern Time on October 13, 2021 and winners will be announced on November 19, 2021, the last day of IEW.
