To all Staff, Faculty and Students:
The Global Education Committee would like to invite you to participate in our Eighth Annual Global Photo Contest, open to all students, faculty, and staff. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, this year’s theme is Resilience, Connection and Community.
If you have taken a photo locally, nationally, or internationally that reflects this theme, please consider submitting your photo for the contest. Selected entries will be included in a digital slide show on A-B Tech’s website and will be judged by a panel of A-B Tech faculty/staff photographers. Selected photos will be printed and displayed on the lower level of the Locke Library beginning in April. Please note that submission does not guarantee inclusion in digital or library display.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 14, 2025.
There will be first, second, and third place winners, in addition to a “fan favorite”, chosen by popular vote. Winners will be announced at a short reception on Thursday, April 10 at 12:30 p.m. in the Don C. Locke Library.
We hope you will share your unique perspectives with our campus community.
How do I submit my photo/s?
Complete the 2025 Global Education Photo Contest Entry Form to upload your photo(s) and provide details.
We recommend you send your picture as a jpeg file in the highest resolution possible (original) for the best quality. Name your file using your first and last name. Example: johndoe.jpg. Make sure to complete every field of the entry form.
How will I know if my photos are selected?
If your photos are chosen to be a part of the show, they will be on display in the Locke Library Gallery. Selected photos will be printed, minimally matted, and hung by the Global Education Committee.
Will there be an exhibit?
The selected entries will be on exhibit on the first floor of the Locke Library beginning in April. You can visit the exhibit during the library’s operating hours. Everyone will be invited to vote for their favorite photo (the "Fan Favorite") before the three winners are announced.
When will the winners be announced?
Photos will be judged by a select panel of photographers. Prizes and ribbons for first, second, and third place will be awarded at a reception in the Locke Library on April 10. The reception begins at 12:30 p.m. Winners will be announced at this event. There will also be a prize awarded to the fan favorite.
Good Luck!
