Packing for your ACIS trip? Don’t forget your camera!
ACIS is seeking submissions for a new 2008 student photography contest. We want to see some of the best photographs that you take during your trip. Just organize a few highlights (say 3 to 10 in a series), then email them to us and you will be in the running to win some great prizes!
10 entries will be chosen and proudly displayed on our website.
• Grand Prize - $500 to Amazon.com
• 1st Place - $300 to Amazon.com
• 2nd Place - $200 to Amazon.com
• 3rd Place - $100 to Amazon.com
• 6 Honorable Mentions - $50 each to Amazon.com
What We're Looking For:
Travel photography is easy. We’ve all seen beautiful shots of exotic cities and locations. We are looking for a series of photographs that take a unique approach to travel. While you’re abroad, try to find a pattern to your photography. Do you happen to take shots of interesting architecture, or maybe photographing local people? Can your shots tell a story?
We want you to be a Traveler, not a Tourist. Think about capturing a cultural experience, or that unique moment when your friend learns something new. Think National Geographic.
Our Guidelines:
The 2008 ACIS Student Photography Contest is open only to 2008 ACIS participants with birthdates after 1986. All photos submitted must be the original work of the ACIS participant submitting them.
1. First, upload your photos to Flickr.com. If you don’t have a Flickr account, you can easily create one at Flickr.com using a Yahoo account.
2. Put your series into a Set. Make sure to include “ACIS Contest” in the title of the Set. Then add the photos to our “ACIS Student Photo Contest” Group. This way you can share it with everyone!
3. Next email ACIS high resolution copies to contest@acis.com. (Please note: We will approve the photo for public viewing on the Flickr group once we receive and approve the high-resolution copy).
Remember to include the following information in your email:
- Your name and ACIS Account ID number
- Your school
- Your group leader’s name
- The name of your trip
Future ACIS advertising and publicity material may include photographs submitted to the contest. By entering the contest you consent to the use of your photographs and photographic likenesses.
4. If possible, please zip or stuff your photos. If you have trouble emailing your series, try using YouSendit.com. This is a free site that enables you to send large files without needing your email server.
Special Notes
- The higher the resolution the better. Shoot for 300 dpi.
- Color and black & white images will be accepted.
- Your entries will be judged on composition of the image and significance of the content, meaning we don’t want posed pictures in front of monuments. Again, think National Geographic.
We are accepting submissions for the 2008 contest between April 1st and August 15th. The winners will be announced on September 5th, 2008.
If you have any questions, or if you have trouble using Flickr.com, please email contest@acis.com.
