Royal Roads University is pleased to host an annual internship photo contest. Two participating students each year will receive a $200 award and be featured on the Career Learning and Development webpage.

The purpose of this contest is to gather material to showcase students applying their education in their internships and highlight the uniqueness and diversity of these educational opportunities.

We are proud of the amazing work our students do all over the world. Photos may be a candid shot or a portrait, in an office or on top of a mountain, beside a mausoleum or in a hotel. We may choose to publicize photo submissions on the University website or in promotional material for specific programs.
