International Education Photo Contest Winners | 2020

First place winner: Catherine's Palace by Jennie Hess
Peter the Great gave this estate to his wife Catherine I in 1710 making it over 300 years old. I found it fascinating that so many buildings in Russia were older than our country. It made me realize how young we are as a country. The other interesting thing I found was the only rich colors I saw were used on the structures and interior. Except for the historical buildings, all of Russia was very drab and gray. There was no colors except for these historic castles and churches. Russia put a great deal of value on the up keep of all their historic places. They greatly value their history and heritage.
Second place winner: Magari! by Janine Salazar
Magari is a slang phrase in Italian meaning "I wish". Traveling and exploring different cultures brings about this spirit and awe in the new found discoveries and experiences that unravel in front of us. It deepens our understanding of the places and the lives we inhabit this beautiful world with. That these landscapes keep us revived in our daily monotonies, magari!
