Students, faculty, staff, and alumni are invited to submit photographs to the 10th annual Jewel Moore Nature Reserve Photography Contest.
Winners will receive a $100 Walmart gift card for first place and $50 gift card for second place.
Winning photographs will be displayed with the photographer’s name in the COSE Dean’s Office, in CCCS and LSC, and on BTÌìÌÃsocial media.
Prizes will be awarded in two categories: Students and Staff/Faculty/Alumni.
Please send up to 3 photographs per person attached to an email to dussourd@uca.edu by November 1.
Photographs may be taken at any time of year (or any year) in any of UCA’s natural areas including in the gardens behind Lewis Science Center, in the LSC atrium, along Stone Dam Creek, at Steel Creek on the Buffalo River, and of course in Jewel Moore Nature Reserve. Any photographic equipment may be used; many winning photographs in the past were taken with cell phones. AI may not be used to create or enhance images. The goal of the contest is to promote photography at BTÌìÌÃand to recognize our beautiful natural areas on campus. More complete instructions are attached.
With these prizes, you now have an extra excuse to go outside and enjoy the great outdoors! I look forward to seeing your wonderful photographs. David Dussourd
