3rd Place - $200 to Amazon.com

Guidelines:

The ACIS Student Photo Contest is open only to 2009 ACIS and Encore participants (traveling between Oct. 15, 2009 - August 13, 2010) with birthdates after 1987. All photos submitted must be the original work of the ACIS participant submitting them.

ACIS Photo Contest on Flickr

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. Next join our “ACIS Student Photo Contest” Group.

2. Put your photos in a set called “ACIS Contest," and add your photos to the group by clicking “Send to Group” on the photo’s page. This way we can share it with everyone!

3. Send us a Flickr message that includes the following information:

  • Your full name and ACIS Account ID number
  • Your school
  • Your group leader’s name
  • The name of your trip

4. Next, email ACIS high resolution copies to contest@acis.com.

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.

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.

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. Think National Geographic.

We are accepting submissions for the 2010 contest until August 13, 2010. The winners will be announced on September 1st.

If you have any questions, or if you have trouble using Flickr.com, please email contest@acis.com.
