4th Annual JMNR Photo Contest
The deadline for the fourth annual Jewel Moore Nature Reserve Photo Contest is rapidly approaching (November 1!!). Instructions for participating are attached. With the pandemic, economic distress, climate change, and political pandemonium overwhelming us, the nature reserve provides a comforting escape.
Please announce the contest to your students and invite them to submit up to three photographs to my email address. Please also consider submitting up to three of your own photographs. There are separate categories for students (undergraduate and graduate combined) and for faculty/staff/alumni.
This is our chance to get a little free publicity for our beautiful reserve – and your chance to see your photographs displayed in the Dean’s office, on the walls in LSC and CCCS, and in UCA publications and web sites.
No cost to enter. Thanks! David
