Fifth Annual Global Culture Photography Juried Exhibition

UF Grinter Gallery announces its Fifth Annual Global Culture Photography Juried Exhibition

UF School of Art + Art History's Grinter Gallery is featuring photographs from the Fifth Annual Global Culture Photography Competition held in Fall 2008 that is jointly sponsored by the University of Florida International Center and the Transnational and Global Studies Center.

The purpose of this juried exhibition, on display Dec. 8 through Jan. 15, is to promote a global perspective within the UF campus. The theme of “Global Culture” can be seen under four categories: UF students studying abroad; international students attending UF and traveling throughout the United States; faculty, staff and alumni while traveling abroad; and UF photography and photojournalism majors while studying abroad. This year’s photographic locations range from Florida and California to Ghana and Ireland. Each category had 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards as well as honorable mentions.

The first place winners of each category are Brian Nelson (Study Abroad Students), Tamas Kolos-Lakatos (International Students), Sarah Kiewel (Faculty, Staff and Alumni) and Chen Wang (Photography and Journalism Students).
