Many thanks to student participants for their photo submissions!
The 5th annual contest is now finished. QUIC believes that sharing the excitement of your international experiences with others, whether you are an international student commenting on your impression of life in Canada, or a Canadian student who has had an invaluable experience abroad, is an important step in the building of understanding, appreciation and enjoyment across cultures and peoples. We were very excited to host the International Photo Contest at QUIC for the fifth year.
