About the Photo Contest and Display

Penn State Brandywine Earth Science Week
2021 Photo Contest and Display!

Participation in the photo display component is open to all students, staff and faculty on campus and only requires the ability to take photos.

Participation in the photo contest is also open to all Brandywine faculty, staff and students. In addition to taking a photo, participants will need to modify or to enhance the image (or photo collage) using software available in the Adobe Creative Cloud prior to submission.

Images taken after January 2021 are eligible.

Steps for the photo display!

Take photos on your phone or with a digital camera that are along this year's theme focusing on the importance of learning how to understand, conserve, and protect water, perhaps Earth's most vital resource - in the 21st century. Be sure you are not including faces of individuals or any minor children, to respect the privacy of others. You may take images of the backs of people’s heads, or selfies.

Information on the submission process for students enrolled in participating course will be provided by your instructor. Information on the submission process for faculty, staff and students not enrolled in participating courses will be posted on the submissions page in mid-September.

You can use the Adobe Spark Post app to work with your images on your phone or any of the desktop applications.

A campus-wide information session on the use of Adobe Spark Post has been scheduled for Thursday, September 9th from 12 p.m. to 1:25 p.m. Please add this opportunity to your calendars.

Yellow garden spider building a web.

1st place

The yellow garden spider builds an intricate web in a strategic location. Notice the stabilimentum, a dense zig-zag of silk, through the center. What inspires this engineering, attraction of prey or self-protection? Scientists debate the answer. – Mary Frances McLaughlin
