The International Year of Statistics sponsored a photo contest for students in grades/years 7-12 to mark the end of the year-long celebration of statistical science. The theme for the appropriately titled Statistics2013 Photo Contest was, "How statistics advances the well-being of people in your country or our global society." Students responded by submitting photos that exhibit the impact of statistics. The competition was a contest-within-a-contest in that three place-winners were selected from each continent (excluding Antarctica). Also, a best overall photo was selected from among the winning photos from each continent. That best photo received a prize of $800, while $700 in prizes-$350 for first place, $200 for second, and $150 for third-was awarded to the continent place-winners.
