"Earth Day Photo Contest"

What did you on April 20, 2012? Do you actually know what day it is?


It was the Earth day! It was on last Friday, and some of you may have noticed that there were a few exciting thing going on campus. (I saw a big metal wheel-shaped thing in front of the HUB, did you?) Well other than the exciting performances, there was one event for Earth Day that caught my attention.


Photographers and filmmakers, the EPA wants you! As part of its Earth Day activities, the Environmental Protection Agency is launching an interactive film and photography project: Submit your own videos and photographs documenting what your doing to protect the water you drink, what steps your taking to reduce air pollution, and how you're contributing to the overall health of your community: Video on You Tube, Photos on FlickrVideo entries should be submitted via YouTube, in the following categories: Reducing your carbon footprint, conserving and protecting water, protecting the environment, and reduce reuse recycle.

Photo entries should be submitted via Flickr, in the following categories: People and the environment, the beauty of nature, wildlife.

Submissions are open between now and the end of April.

You may think, oh there is no need for me to try this out. However, it is a great way to try out taking pictures. These people are giving out opportunities to actually take pictures related to a theme. You do not have to be a professional to actually take good pictures. The freshest starter's mind is actually the greatest asset in anything! You beginners are the ones who have the ability to give your own taste in taking pictures. You might bring something new to the world of photography! So, why not give it a shot? Of course, you might not get a prize on your first entry, but you might find it actually fun and enjoyable to take pictures. Just try out, and it will be more than you expected.
