Shutterbugs, Grab Your Cameras

The response to our inaugural photo contest in 2008 was stunning. Don't believe us? Take a look at the winning photos printed in our Summer 2008 newsletter.

Now, we are calling upon you, our readers, to once again submit your favorite photos of transportation projects, snapshots of the roads you work on, or images that capture a little piece of the gorgeous scenery in your corner of California. Winning photograph(s) (along with your photo credit, of course) will be published in an upcoming Tech Transfer publication.

We are soliciting photographs on the theme of "Transportation in California." We are looking for photos that depict an element of California's transportation system. The rest is up to you.

Photographs will be judged based on relevance to the theme, overall visual appeal, and technical quality (they must be sharp and well composed). Submissions will be reviewed by the Photo Selection Committee at Tech Transfer. If we select one of your photographs for publication, a member of the committee will notify you and provide publication details.

Rules:

• Limit five photographs from any single entrant.
• Every entrant must include a UC Regents release form with their submissions. This form gives Tech Transfer permission to publish your entries in any of our publications.

How to Submit Your Photograph:

Applicants shall submit the following by May 15, 2009:

1. An e-mail containing your name, address, phone number, and if desired, job title and employer. Also include a brief written description of the photograph(s) (100 words per photo), including location where it was taken and what the transportation element is.
2. Electronic files of publication-quality resolution: approximately 8-1/2 x 11 print size, minimum 300 DPI.
3. We can only accept tifs and jpegs (highest quality jpeg level needed).
