- Each student may submit up to 5 entries.
- 3" x 5" or 4" x 6" photos (in black and white or color) are all acceptable.
- Only prints are acceptable (no electronic submissions).
- Photos will be judged by members of the faculty and staff.
- Criteria for judging include aesthetic quality of the image and uniqueness of impression of the location.
- If your photo is chosen as a winner, we will need the digital file or negative in order to make an 8x10 copy.

Prizes
Winning photos will be enlarged (8" x 10") and included in a display on the Art Wall in Lowry Center at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. They will also be displayed in the Center for Diversity and Global Engagement, and on the OCS website until the next semester winners are chosen. Winners will be awarded an 8x10 enlargement of their photos.
