Earth Week Environmental Photo Contest
Update (April 25th): See the 40 entries submitted to the First Earth Week Environmental Photo Contest, posted on Flickr. Please post any comments you have about the images. We will look over the comments that have been posted and use them to help select the winning photo in about a week.
In honor of Earth Week, SSA would like to promote the arts and the environment by hosting our first Earth Week Environmental Photo Contest. We will be accepting photos that highlight environmental themes, such as the natural world. biodiversity, water, consumption, pollution, and human interactions with nature. We invite everyone to enter your favorite "environmental" photo, or to go out and take a new one before the April 24th deadline. There might even be some good photo ops during Earth Week itself!
The Rules:
Photos should highlight environmental themes, such as the natural world. biodiversity, water, consumption, pollution, and human interactions with nature. We would like to keep the "theme" as open as possible to encourage creativity!
Photos should be original, taken by the contest entrant. Entrants must be BCC students or employees (or at least have been a BCC student or employee in the past 1 year). Limit of three photos per entrant.
Deadline: 11:59 PM, Friday, April 24 (11:59 PM for digital submissions, 5:00 PM for prints)
