Photography Opportunity for UCSD Students:

The Journal of International Policy Solutions is offering UCSD students an opportunity to showcase their international photography skills in its upcoming edition.  One entry will be chosen for the home page of the website and will be included in the printed version of the journal.  The photographer of the chosen piece will get a byline, and a complementary copy of the Journal.  Deadline for submissions is March 13, 2009.

Entry Criteria:
-  Photographs should be clearly identifiable as international in nature (we are looking for innovative pieces that speak to and reflect the international issues facing today's world or simply capture a poetic piece of culture someplace outside the US).
-  Include your last name in the file name of the submission.
-  Photos should be print quality at 7'' by 10'', but smaller photos will be considered (Please contact us if you have questions about this).
