  • We invite students, staff, and community members to take part in voting for the Multimedia Production and Design Photography Competition. The theme, “The Life of a Book,” challenged student photographers to demonstrate experimentation, risk-taking, and the use of design principles, accompanied by a written artist statement explaining their vision. All competition photographs will be displayed in the Commons for viewing. To vote, please use the Google Form link or scan the QR code posted in the Commons. Each person may vote once, and the form will only accept a single submission per voter.
