Employee photo contest draws thousands of entries from locations worldwide.
A child discovering the wonders of a telescope. The pitching deck of a commercial fishing vessel. A misty Japanese garden. Twilight settling over a Belgian canal. These are just a few of the captivating photos that emerged as winners in a recent Intel photography contest.
To showcase talents they have outside of work, Intel held a photo contest for its employees around the world. More than 7,500 photos were entered, and those that impressed the judges most will be displayed at the Intel facility from where the winners hail. Out of the best arose the global winner, “Bruges at Dusk,” a photo taken in Belgium by an American.
Here are the worldwide winner and a sampling of photos that placed regionally:
