Yearbook Photo Contest

Leave a comment

Once again this year, the Log is having a contest for to find *the campus scenery pic* for the opening page of the 2015 yearbook.
All faculty, staff and students are eligible and encouraged to enter this contest.  The winning photographer will receive a $50 gift card to Tandem!
Please submit high resolution photos only (the photo will be printed near full-page sized), to smichalski@williston.com by December 13, 2014, using “LOG PHOTO CONTEST” in the subject line.

Please note that in the case of otherwise equal quality photos, preference will be given to the photo which somehow embodies this year’s yearbook theme, “A Parting Shot”. The yearbook will be printed in full color, so only color pics for the contest.

Also only a few days left to pre-order your copy of the yearbook in the student store!

Thank you, and happy photographing!

Mrs. Michalski
Faculty Advisor to The Log
