The cultural attaché of the U.S. Embassy Budapest would like to request the pleasure of your company at the opening of the 2019 Summer Work and Travel Photo Exhibit.
The photos highlight the freedom of travel in the context of the 30th anniversary of the 1989 regime change in Hungary.
In 2018 U.S. Embassy introduced a photo contest for students who have participated in the SWT Program and traveled to the USA. The topic was capturing the hidden treasures of America. The best photos will be exhibited in Méliusz Juhász Péter Könyvtár on September 9, 5 p.m., organized by American Corner Debrecen.
Embassy judges selected contest winners from among all eligible entries based on the following criteria: technical excellence, artistic merit, originality, composition, and ability to showcase the unique experience of visiting the United States. One “fan favorite” contest winner also has been selected through an audience vote.
