Guild website.
From Monday 19 April until Monday 23
August, the USQ Student Guild invited all USQ students - Toowoomba,
Fraser Coast, Springfield, and Distance Education/Online - to submit
entries in the Capture It! 2010 Digital Photography Competition.
Nearly
600 photographs were submitted by USQ students. Our judges had the
tough job of narrowing these 600 entries down to just one Best Overall
Winner and one Best Overall Runner Up for each category (Toowoomba,
Fraser Coast, Springfield, and Distance Education/Online). These students will be announced on Wednesday
8 September.
Our
judges
have also chosen ten finalists in each category for the People’s Choice
Voting component of the competition. People’s Choice Voting is open
from Thursday 26 August until Tuesday 7 September. Only one vote will
be allowed per person in each category, so make sure you pick your
favourite photo.
FOLLOW THE
LINKS BELOW, SIGN IN AND CAST YOUR VOTE!
Thanks to
those students who submitted entries. We
look forward to announcing the winners on Wednesday 8 September. Best of luck to the People’s Choice
finalists and happy voting to all the USQ students and staff who will choose
this year’s People’s Choice winner and runner-up in each category.
Entries for the 2010 Capture It! Digital Photography Competition
close next Monday (23 August). As a USQ student, you’re invited to
submit between one and six photos before the closing date. The theme for this
year’s competition is ‘What I Can’t Live Without’. Take pictures of what you
can’t live without and submit these to Jessica.Taylor@usq.edu.au.... But
make sure you follow the entry instructions below to ensure your entry is
submitted!
Save your six photographs with
the following title: Campus_First name_Last name_Capture It! #(entry
number). Your photographs should be JPEG files.
Attach these to an email from
your @umail.usq.edu.au
email account. This email should also contain: your name, campus, student
ID number, contact phone number, and email address.
Entries that have not followed
these instructions will not be submitted. It is extremely important to
ensure that your name, campus, student ID number, contact phone number,
and email address are included in your entry email as this will ensure
that entries are placed in the correct category. It is equally important
that the instructions above are followed regarding saving your
photographs.
Keep the theme in mind while
capturing what you can’t live without and remember that any obscene photos
will be denied entry.
Photos which are clearly taken
from the internet will also be denied entry. All entries must be your own
work.
We’re hoping to receive many more entries over
the next week. There are two Panasonic Lumix DMC-F3 Cameras up for grabs at
each campus for Best Overall Photo and People’s Choice Photo. The runner up in
each category will receive an iPod shuffle. However, please note that due to
circumstances out of our control the runner up prize may change.
Imagine the smile across the face of a less fortunate child who receives a shoe-box full of treasures for Christmas this year! For those with children, this is a great way to help your kids see how lucky they are to have food, water, shelter and toys to play with every day… All you have to do is…
Step 1 – Find a shoe box
Find an empty shoe box. With cheerful paper, separately wrap the box and lid. Note: the size must be within 21x30cm.
Step 2 – Boy or Girl?
Determine if a boy or girl will receive your gift. Select the age of the child and who will receive your box. Mark a label (see attachment) and stick it on your box lid. You can include a special note for your child in the box.
Step 3 – Fill with Gifts
Fill the box with a variety of simple gifts that will bring delight to a child. Please make sure the packaging from each gift you give is removed. Gift ideas (and a list of what not to include) can be found at http://www.samaritanpurse.org.au./
Finally...
Put your $9 donation in an envelope or donate online. Please don't forget to include the $9.00 donation as thiscovers the cost of organising and delivering the boxes to less fortunate children in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Vanuatu, PNG, and the Solomon Islands.Close thelid and secure with a strong rubber band. Your donation of $9 or more covers project costs involved withorganising and delivering the boxes.
