This semester, as one of FW GSO's fund raising events, we are going to have a photo contest. Each winner of the contest will receive an award and have their photo(s) published in a 2012 calendar that will be for sale near the end of 2011. Yes, you may be the next "Mr. October" or "Ms. March." Details are as follows:
This contest is open to all faculty, staff, and students (both undergrad and grad).
There are 4 categories.
1) Wildlife
2) Scenery
3) Fieldwork
4) Humor (in relation to one or more of the above 3 categories)
Each photo entered requires a $2 entry fee, but wait! You can enter more than one photo in the contest and will receive a discount for multiple entries: 3 photos for $5 or 8 photos for $10.
You can submit photo(s) and pay fees to anyone on the FW GSO fund raising committee (see below), but you must pay the fee to the person you submit the photo.
**For initial submission, we will take electronic copies of your photos in .jpg format no larger than 150 K. The voting will take place via survey monkey which has a maximum size limit for .jpg files. If indeed your photo makes it into the calendar, we will ask you for a higher resolution more suitable for printing.
Photos and entry fees are due by October 31st, after which we will send out a survey for the department to vote for their favorites.
The top 2 in each category will receive monetary awards. The amount of each award will depend upon the number of entries into the contest. Third place in each category will receive some awesome FW paraphernalia.
The top 3 favorite photos from each category will make it into the FW GSO 2012 calendar.
The winners will also be highlighted in the twice yearly GSO newsletter.
Get to snapping!
Yours truly,
The FW GSO fund raising committee
