Several photo and essay contests are available for the most compelling AMIGOS images and stories. Moreover, we are always looking for quotes and pictures to share on our website and printed materials. Photo and Essay ContestEach year, AMIGOS challenges its Volunteers to submit their most outstanding photos and essays for voting. The winner receives $100 cash, and the winning entries are featured in the AMIGOS annual report (PDF). Continental Latin American Photo ContestThe annual Continental Latin American Photo Contest is a chance or everyone to submit their photos from Latin America. The winner receives two round-trip tickets to Latin America and recognition in AMIGOS and Continental publications. The contest takes place during the summer. College Essay SubmissionMany AMIGOS alumni feel their service experience with our program is so compelling that they chose to write their college and graduate school essays about the growth and leadership skills they developed during their service to AMIGOS. If you have written such an essay, please send it to AMIGOS for our records. Please email or mail your submissions: Amigos de las Américas |
“My AMIGOS experience shaped and influenced my entire life. I can’t imagine what I would be like today without the exposure to the rest of the world that AMIGOS gave me. I’m sure that my choice of a health care profession was influenced by my AMIGOS experience.” –Lynn Nussle Krog, Trauma Rehab Coordinator, Harborview Medical Center |
