[EAsiaUVa] competition: all-expenses-paid trip to the Beijing Olympics

[Anne B. Kinney]

Dear University of Virginia Student Leaders and Administrators:  
 
Hello! I am a junior at Harvard University working with students from 
Harvard, Tsinghua, and Peking Universities to bring six North American 
students to the Beijing Olympics this summer.  
 
Our project, called the IMUSE 2008 China in my Eyes Competition, 
involves *writing a 500-1000 word essay or submitting one or several 
photographs* on the topic "China in my Eyes: What China means to me." 
The topic is left purposely open-ended to encourage creative thought.  
 
The following students will be selected as IMUSE 2008 student 
ambassadors to represent your student group, school, and country in an 
*all-expenses-paid trip to the Beijing Olympics*, which includes travel, 
accommodations and dining at one of our Chinese student delegate's 
homes, and tickets to Olympics events (or, should they choose, a *free 
laptop*):  
 
1. *Three winners* from the essay competition 
2. *Two winners *from the photo competition 
3. *One winner* from our "My Top Ten" survey 
(http://www.imuse2008.org/survey.php) 
 
Ten runners-up for each competition will each receive a *limited-edition 
2008 Beijing Olympics collectible. * 

Select entries will be* published on the IMUSE website *with permission 
of their authors.  
 
*The deadline for all three contests is April 15th, 2008*. We believe 
that IMUSE 2008 represents an excellent opportunities for the students 
of your school and are therefore asking that you publicize the 
competition on websites and the mailing lists of dormitories and student 
organizations. 

Students enrolled in all North American postsecondary (two-year, 
vocational, undergraduate, graduate, professional, etc.) educational 
institutions are eligible to enter. Submission is electronic, and there 
is no fee to apply.

 
More details may be found on our website:

*Please forward this email to your student group lists *if you would 
like the students of your school to participate in this 
once-in-a-lifetime exchange opportunity.  

You are also encouraged to join our Facebook group "China in My Eyes 
Essay and Photography Competition" at
