Congratulations to ArtCenter 8th term student Urim Ray Hong. Hong received the 2019 Grand Prize for PDN’s Annual Student Photo Contest in the Documentary / Photojournalism category for his series “City Soleil: Eager to learn”. His series captures the children in City Soleil, Haiti, who are thriving and learning despite the town’s impoverished conditions. Hong will receive a Nikon DSLR camera, $150 to B&H Photo and a portfolio review.

The PDNedu Student Photo Contest is open to students of undergraduate, graduate and certificate programs, and also includes a category for high school students. Winners and honorable mentions will be recognized in the Spring 2019 issue of PDNedu, which has a circulation of 50,000 copies to students and educators nationwide. Featured photographers will also be promoted to PDN's online audience of more than 500,000 followers.
