This week, GradHacker ran it’s very first photo contest. We asked our readers to submit photos of their workspaces: the good, the bad, the ugly, and you responded in force! We saw libraries filled with books, pets in baskets and on windowsills, hacked standing desks (one with a treadmill!), re-purposed thrift store finds, shared desks, messy desks, clean desks, and oh so much more. One thing became very clear: grad students are incredibly resourceful! So without further ado, we announce the winners:
First Prize Winner:

- A set of three terrariums from Doodle Birdie
