We are hosting a brand new TEAN Photo Contest – just for summer interns!
It’s open to TEAN Interns in any of our locations for both May and June start dates. We have three categories you can enter. The contest will run all summer (enter photos anytime) with a final deadline of Sept 2, 2019 to submit any entries.

FAQ
Can I still enter the regular photo contest by TEAN?
Yes, you can still enter TEAN Alum Photo Contest, but you must enter different photos. The TEAN alum photo contest has some extra categories where you might want to submit your non-placement related pictures from your host city and travels.
What if I can’t take photos at my placement?
Sometimes due to the nature of your internship environment, you might not be permitted to take photos. If this is the case, be creative on the type of photos you can take. For example, maybe you can’t take a photo in your workplace but you can take one out front with company sign.
