Time is running out on the 2017 Walsworth Yearbooks Photo Contest

Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE

Here’s a reminder: this year’s Walsworth Yearbooks Photo Contest ends on Friday night at 11:59 Central time. So there’s still time for students to submit their best shots for a chance to win one of nine $100 Visa gift cards.

Students can enter at walsworthyearbooks.com/photocontest or on Facebook at facebook.com/yearbooks.  Prizes will be awarded to one photographer in each of the nine categories and students can enter up to five photos total.

Don’t forget! College/University is a brand new category this year. We’re looking for the best photo taken by a college student. Here are all the categories:

  • Sports Action – Capture athletes in action and the spirit of competition.
  • Student Life – We want to see who students really are – who that person is, what they do and why.
  • Academics – Show us learning in progress.
  • Club or Organization/Community Service – Clubs and organizations allow groups to shape each individual as well as the community. Show us how.
  • Feature/Portrait – Reveal who a person is by showing what they are feeling or a bit of their personality using the face and emotion as the focus.
  • Photo Illustration – Show us a photo that has been modified, manipulated or otherwise featuring special effects that were created to tell a story.
  • School Spirit – We want to see the meaning of school pride displayed on the sidelines, in the stands, at practice – by anyone not competing in an athletic event.
  • Junior High/Middle School – We’re looking for the best junior high/middle school photo regardless of category. Photo must be taken by a junior high or middle school student.
  • College/University – We’re looking for the best College/University photo regardless of category. Photo must be taken by a college or university student.
