HONORS PHOTO CONTEST
Activate your digital cameras and start clicking for the 2008 Honors Photo Contest!!
The main theme this year is "Diversity." Fly free in interpreting
that wonderfully inclusive word however you wish. As in past years, the
single rule is that at least one Honors student must be in each submitted
photo. The winning prize for this category will be $300.
The second category is wide open -- any topic (campus, friends, classes,
sports, international, community service, research, internship, job, music,
etc.) as long as at least one Honors student is in the photo. The top
prize in this category will be $100.
For both categories be sure to feature people! Background and context are important, but be sure that the people (especially one or more Honors students) can be seen.
There will be lots of smaller prizes, so many students will win something. Submit as many photos as you want in one or both categories. Please submit photos at a reasonably high resolution (don't downsize the image or resolution prior to submission). Titles of photos should briefly describe the image. Please submit photos on a CD labeled with your name, expected year of graduation, and email address. Turn in CDs to the Honors Office in Anne Arundel Hall by sundown on March 28, 2008, but you may submit early and often. We will give you a blank CD in exchange. Due to computer issues we cannot accept photos as email attachments (although if you are submitting while studying abroad or some other special circumstance, please send to honors@umd.edu).
One of the objectives of the Honors Photo Contest is to build a bank of pictures for public display, the Honors website, and Honors publications, so by submitting photo(s) to the contest you are giving the University Honors Program permission to use the picture(s) for those purposes.
Check out some of the winning photos from past years' contests on display
on the east wall panels in the basement of Anne Arundel Hall. Many are
also illustrating various pages of the Honors website and are used in
the Honors recruiting presentations.
