Barlow Photo Exhibit
If you have studied off-campus (semester or year abroad, FSA, Off-Campus Short Term), we encourage you to submit a photo to:
the Twelfth Annual Off-Campus Study
Photo Exhibit
We are looking for geographic and subject diversity, color and b&w, point&shooters and photo artistes. Pictures in which you are visible are particularly welcome, as are pictures that highlight the academic and the immersion aspects of your study abroad experience. Please avoid pictures which run the risk of promoting cultural imperialism, tourism, sunsets, or which are really tacky.
Examples from previous exhibits
The exhibit will consist of 50+ photos chosen from among the entries by an extraordinarily compassionate jury of your peers. The photos will be enlarged and matted (we pay for this). At the conclusion of the show, the enlarged and matted photos will be returned to the submitters. There will be an official Opening Reception in the Pettengill Atrium on Thursday, March 29.
Details:
- Deadline for submission is Noon on Tuesday, February 28. (This is a firm deadline)
- To maximize enlargement quality: digital photos only (you can scan a print); recommended minimum size: 3MG; image resolution: 1600×1200. Please see me if you have any questions about these guidelines.
- One entry per person
- The Exhibit is in the Pettengill Atrium from March 29 – April 12
