On May 30, the results of the 11th edition of the World of Images Intercollegiate Photo Contest were unveiled during a virtual event.
This edition ended on March 9, 2022, and included 986 photos submitted by 14 college network staff members as well as 224 students from 44 colleges. The organizing committee first pre-selected photos in the two categories: College Network Staff and Student. The jury, made up of seven judges, then selected the finalist photos: 6 photos from college network staff and 27 photos from students.
