Morgan Stanley University Photo Competition 2017
Each year, students show Morgan Stanley what the world looks like through their eyes in our annual photo competition. This year’s theme, Places and Spaces, focuses on the various places and spaces where you live, work and travel to.
You are encouraged to submit photos of Places and Spaces; moments in your lives, your travels and your imagination.
THE COMPETITION
From January 18 to February 19, we encourage you to submit up to two photographs that illustrate Places and Spaces that you have encountered. After all photos are submitted, our panel of judges will narrow-down all submissions to five entries from each region – Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa and North America – based on the following criteria:
- Theme: does the photo accurately reflect the theme Places and Spaces?
- Creativity: has the entrant used their imagination to create something original?
- Style: does the photograph hold a distinctive appearance in its technique and form?
- Impact: does the photograph influence or have a strong effect on its audience?
The short-listed photos will be published here by March 17 at which point we would ask you return to the site to cast your vote! Chose the one photo you like most! Or the one that represents your campus! Whatever takes your fancy!
Voting period will close on April 23 and the winners will be announced during the week of May 1, 2017.
