Announcing the winners of the 2020-21 #WorldAtPenn Contest

By: ISSS

The annual ISSS #WorldAtPenn Contest is an opportunity for us to showcase the vibrancy, creativity, and diverse range of perspectives offered by Penn’s international student community. The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated challenges have prompted many international students to think about concepts such as home and identity in new ways. With this in mind, for this year’s contest, we accepted photos, videos, and “tiny stories” (short essays of 100 words or fewer) in three categories: “Home,” “My Penn Journey,” and “This is Who I Am.” 

We are thrilled to announce the winners and honorable mentions of the 2020-21 #WorldAtPenn Contest, which were selected by a panel of judges on the basis of three criteria: 1) originality/creativity, 2) communication of culture, place, or identity, and 3) quality.

Members of the Penn community can vote on their favorite entries at the link below by February 24, after which we will announce the “People’s Choice” winners. You can also view all of this year’s entries in an interactive 3D gallery.
