Applications Encouraged for 2014 International Collegiate Go Tournament

The 2014 International Collegiate Go Tournament is now accepting applications. To be held in Hong Kong July 7-13, the second annual event, hosted by the Ing Foundation, is open to current, future, or recently graduated college students, both undergraduate and graduate, who will or has attended school in 2014. Players of all strengths are encouraged to apply; the tournament is divided into both a kyu and dan division. The sponsors pay for student's room, board, and the tours that take place during the event; students will be responsible for paying their airfare to reach the tournament, and any personal expenses during the tournament such as souvenirs and night life entertainment. "This is a truly unique experience as the Shanghai Ing Foundation does not spare any expense during the planning of this event," says a post on the American Collegiate Go Association's website. While there's no deadline for application, those interested should apply early as the selection process will be done on a first-come first-serve basis. - photo: at the 2013 International Collegiate Go Tournament
