The 2016 InternationalStudent.com Travel Video Contest is now open for entries. Submit the best video you can make, no longer than five minutes long, where you talk about your proposed international studies. If you’re already an international student, the video can tell about any trip you would like to take. Over the years, different kinds of winners have emerged – wonderful animations, creative stop motion films, talented performers, beautiful videography, and simply compelling stories.
Prizes
- $4,000 grand prize, a $1,000 Viewers’ Choice Award, other runner up prizes, and, of course, worldwide fame.

- The winner will be expected to maintain a blog documenting the trip. This blog will start immediately after the winner is announced, and will continue through the trip until return to school. Contributions are expected at least once a week during the preparation for the trip and daily during the trip;
