International Student Stories Needed - Study in BC Launches Contest

Back To News September 17th, 2012

StudyinBC, created by the BC Council for International Education (BCCIE) is launching its very first StudyinBC Contest, which asks students and alumni to submit personal stories and advice that will help future students and parents make the decision to study in British Columbia.

The contest provides international students and alumni the chance to share how they study, play and have fun in BC. Starting September 17, international students and alumni can submit blog posts, photo albums or videos focused on different themes. Submission themes include holidays and festivals, food, tips and advice, sports, studying, working and much more.

By participating, contest entrants have the chance to win the new iPad3, thanks to the generous support of Guard.me, a provider of health insurance to the international education marketplace for more than ten years.

The student and alumni contest closes October 31 and winners will be announced on November 5. Stories and advice of students and alumni from around the world will be featured on www.studyinbc.com and through social media.
