CREATE 2022 will have a dedicated student photography exhibit on April 7 at the Cowichan Campus that will encourage students to show off their curious and creative sides. In particular, we are looking for What does being a student at the Cowichan campus look like?
If you have a phone, you have a camera (most likely)!
First, fill out a CREATE registration form. There is a specific event labelled Cowichan Photography Contest.
Second, take some pics! Or look through the ones you already have. Follow the instructions below:
- Only one entry per student
- Only photos taken within the previous 12 months are eligible
- You must have taken the photo and have permission to submit the photo
- Images must be photo quality (3000x2400 pixels or larger) and in JPEG format. Files should be a maximum of 8 MB. Images not meeting these specifications will not be accepted.
- Photos can be black & white or colour.
- Pictures may be worth 1000 words, but we still want a few. A brief (50 word max) caption is part of the entry.
- If there are individuals clearly visible in the photo, the photographer must receive written consent prior to entering and include this as part of the entry
- Example consent: I [name of person in picture] give [your name] permission to submit a picture that includes an identifiable image of me to the CREATE 2022 photography event. I am aware this picture may be published in print (brochures, advertisements) or electronic mediums (web/social media) to promote and/or highlight research, university activities, and to promote subsequent photograph contests. I will not receive monetary compensation. [Signed by the person in photo]
- By entering the contest, the photographer grants the right to VIU to publish the photograph in print (brochures, advertisements) or electronic mediums (web/social media) to promote and/or highlight research, university activities, and to promote subsequent photograph contests. The photographer will not receive monetary compensation; however, photo credit will be given where possible.
When everything looks good, send the image and your caption to create@viu.ca - entry must be received by March 28. We will print them and hang them the day of the exhibit. Photos will either be printed as 12" X 12" for square photos or 12" X 18" for rectangular photos.
