With the 2012 Olympics in London upon us, global competition is on our minds. The guts! The glory!\u00a0The\u2026awesome course selection and weekend excursions??<\/em><\/p>\n

YES!<\/strong>\u00a0Abroad101 is joining the fun with our own Global Gold Challenge, a\u00a0<\/span>head-to-head competition of countries competing for study abroad fame. \u00a0For an entire week during the Olympics\u00a0(July 27 \u2013 August 3)<\/strong>\u00a0we\u2019ll be running a poll on our \u00a0asking\u00a0YOU<\/strong>\u00a0to get on board with whichever nation you think will come out of the Olympics with the most medals overall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now remember, this is a global competition, and as such, we\u2019ll be raffling off an Abroad101 Care Package to a randomly selected person who voted for the winning country after medal counts have been finalized.<\/p>\n

All of our contenders are real powerhouses, so we\u2019re featuring each\u00a0on our blog throughout the week, detailing their journeys in the ring of study abroad and how they\u2019re doing in the Olympics too!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What to do now? Get in the game!:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Go to our Facebook page<\/a> to vote for one of our five contenders: Kenya, New Zealand, Turkey, Brazil and Denmark.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Keep an eye on the Abroad101 blog and Facebook page<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0all week (July 30 \u2013 August 3) for an in-depth look at each destination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Stick around for after the Olympics have ended to see if your selection won, and whether you could receive an Abroad101 Care Package unique to your country!<\/strong><\/p>\n
