It is that time of year again, grab your camera and be prepared to take photos for the USU Eastern Library’s Fourth Annual Photo Contest and Snapshot Day*.
Students should document through photos the positive impact the library makes on USU Eastern’s campus and to the community
The contest is open to enrolled USU Eastern students with the theme “show us where, when and how you study.” Get your cameras and your textbooks and start shooting how you study.
All submissions are due no later than Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 9 p.m., with the winners announced Feb. 20.
This year the prizes are better than ever: first place is a “Date Night” prize package which includes a limo service, dinner and a movie worth over $100; second place receives a Wave Pool prize package including passes for six, pizza and ice cream totaling $50. Two Chancellor’s Choice Awards include a $20 gift certificate to the Campus Store.
