World of Images Intercollegiate Photo Contest

The Collegial Centre for Educational Materials Development (CCDMD) has been hosting the World of Images Intercollegiate Photo Contest every year since 2011. The contest aims to encourage the next generation of photographers and to foster the production and sharing of high-quality photographs in the education sector.
