HESN Photo Contest - Voting Open!
Voting Rules and everything else you need to know...
Thanks to all participants for entering!
To celebrate the achievements of the Higher Education Solution Network's (HESN) first crop of Summer Fellows, HESN and USAID's Office of Science and Technology (OST) launched our Inaugural Photo Contest in partnership with the HESN Development Labs. We were thrilled to receive so many amazing photos from students across the network, showcasing the important work being done to tackle tomorrow's most pressing development challenges.
HESN student innovators, researchers, coders, and explorers were eligible to enter. The goal of each photo was to illustrate how students, Development Labs, and USAID are engaged in the community they’re working in to solve tomorrow’s development challenges.
