Photographers sought for annual competition

Student Activities and Union Facilities is looking for photographers to participate in the second annual Photo Scavenger Hunt competition. The entry deadline is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21 for the competition, for which faculty, staff and students are eligible.


Entrants will be mailed a list of 25 broad categories, such as “shadow,” or “you wouldn’t want to eat it,” and must take photos in those categories over a period of three days. They may interpret the categories however they choose. Each photographer submits his or her best 10 photos.


Photos will be on exhibit in the HUB Art Gallery from Jan. 26 to Feb. 9. A panel of judges will pick one outstanding photo for each category.


Entry forms will be available in the Student Activities Office, 207 HUB, or via e-mail. Up to 32 photographers may participate; if there are more entries, a lottery will decide the final entrants. For more information, contact Christina Coop, student activities adviser, 206-543-2380, cmcoop@u.washington.edu.
