2019 CHI Special Award

Sponsored by CHI
Are you ready for an adventure?

In 2019, we partnered with CHI to offer a special award, in addition to the main prize. Dozens of people wrote in to tell us their cultural exchange story, for a chance to win a round-trip flight to a mystery destination.

2019 CHI Award winner, Veronika B. from Hungary, told us a story about her experience at camp, and won a trip to Barcelona, Spain.

How it works

Submission Round - It’s as simple as submitting your best photos. We’ll choose the best photos from each entry and upload them to our Facebook pages.

National Round - Each Camp Leaders country office will select one country winner to move on to the international round.

International Round - Country winners will be selected based on quality, subject matter and social engagement. These will then go head to head with one ultimate winner being chosen by a panel of judges.
