--WINNERS-For the first GBC photo contest, we received 11 photos through 7 submissions from GBC
students. There were three categories: "On-Campus Life", "Dormitory Life" and "Off-CampusLife". Out of the 11 photos, 7 photos are in the "Off-Campus Life", 2 photos are in the "DormLife", and 1 photo is in the "On-Campus Life". Since most of the photos belonged to the "OffCampus" category, we did not divide the winning photos into different categories. Therefore,
we chose the top four photos from the whole list.

GBC Grand Prize (First Place)

Title: Relaxing MomentName: Mai Xuan Khanh
Location: Hanoi Vietnam

Description: Since the start of summer vacation, my city intensified social distancing
measures and I couldn’t go anywhere during the summer. In the last week of the month, thecity administration finally gave us a break from social distancing, so I took time to experience
the city before summer break ended. I just wanted to capture this moment on the street as amemorable moment after a long time of staying at home, and as a reminder to always beoptimistic.
Comments from the University: Khanh is a second year GBC student. Due to visa
problems, he has not been able to come to Japan yet (as of November 2021), and has been
following lectures online for the second year now. We admire his dedication andperseverance! We would like all GBC students to know about him, to know him, and to givehim heartful support.

The following two photos share the second place.
