Rules:
- Photos must be current, and have been taken after contest has started.
- Photos must be in good taste, and will be accepted at the sole discretion of the art department.
- No preset photo filters can be used (example, no Instagram-like filters). Black and white is okay.
- Submit original photo as well as edited photo, with camera type, and any other camera info that you can provide. Photos don’t need to be edited to be submitted into contest.
- Photos must be submitted in the highest resolution possible (for printing purposes). Since most photos will not be in square format originally, you are allowed to edit the photo by adding white borders to preserve the rectangular aspect ratio, if not we will crop the photo however we think works best.

- Photos must be submitted by date given; no late photos will be accepted.
