Winners named in second annual IMBA photo contest
A group of village elders in traditional African tribal dress, students decked out in colorful silk costumes that could have been worn by Chinese royalty, the shimmering Panama City skyline at dawn, and lava fields in the “Dragon’s Backbone” of China were announced Feb. 10 as the best pictures of the Class of 2006 International MBA (IMBA) contest.
This was the second year the contest was held. Its purpose is to highlight the international experience that Moore School IMBA students receive during their internships or study abroad.
The winning photographers – all members of the IMBA Class of 2006 – are Katie Brownrigg, Andrew Bender, Danielle Horton, and Adam Shaw.
Thirty-two photos snapped in 2005 were included as finalists in the contest in four categories: Business, Lifestyles, Location, and Creativity. The winning photo in each category was the one that received the most votes cast online by members of the IMBA Classes of 2006 and 2007, alumni, faculty, and staff.
Katie Brownrigg’s winning photo of a group of elders in Diondori, Mali, dressed in the long, flowing garb of the village, was submitted in the Business category. Andrew Bender’s shot of Adam Shaw and Ajesh D’souza, who were dressed in multi-hued silk outfits fit for an emperor, was snapped in Tong-li, China and garnered the prize in the Lifestyles category. Danielle Horton’s gauzy shot of the Panama City skyline, suffused in the pinks and blues of dawn, took top honors in the Locations category. The award in the Creativity category was won by Adam Shaw, whose photo showed smoky grey lava fields interspersed with terraced rice fields of soft green in the Longshan Valley of Guangxi, China.
Ajesh D’souza administered this year’s photo contest.
