UC ANR launches photo contest

Providing a new opportunity to engage with colleagues, UC ANR is launching a photography contest and calling all staff and academics to submit their best shots.

“We have so many talented people in ANR, we want to highlight their skills and abilities,” said Mark Bell, vice provost of Strategic Initiatives and Statewide Programs. “These days, people aren't getting around to see California. The contest will give us all a chance to see scenes from different parts of our beautiful state.”

Photos may be submitted in five categories based on UC ANR's Strategic Initiatives:

• Endemic and invasive pests and diseases
• Healthy families and communities
• Sustainable food systems
• Sustainable natural ecosystems
• Water quality, quantity and security

A $50 gift card will be awarded to the first place winner and all staff and academics who submit photos will be eligible for a $25 gift card drawing. In addition, the winning photos will be featured at a UC ANR Town Hall.

All photos submitted to the contest will be stored on UC ANR's WebDam and made available for UC ANR presentations, websites, social media, etc., with credit to the photographers.

Click this link to begin submitting your photo(s). If there are recognizable people in the photo, please ask them to sign a release agreement and upload in the submission survey. The submission deadline for the 2020 photo contest is Nov. 30.
