Photo contest focuses on energy
By Codell Rodriquez, The Southern
The SIU Coal Research Center is turning to student photographers to raise awareness of energy in the region.
The
center is organizing the photo contest with the theme, “Energy, Society
and the Future,” and will accept entries through March 29. All entries
must come from a valid SIU email address and the winning photos will be
displayed in the Administrative Building of the Coal Development Park in
Carterville.
Amy McMorrow Hunter, technology transfer specialist
with the center, said the contest is a way to get people involved with
the topic of energy at SIU.
“I guess we just wanted a fun way to raise awareness about coal and coal research here at the university,” she said.
The
top three photos will win cash prizes. First place receives $100,
second place gets $75 and third place will win $50. The top 10 photos
will be put on display in the center. There will also be a Google+ page
with the photos where people can plus each photo. Those votes will
combine with judge opinions when picking the best photos. Each
photographer may submit as many as three photos to crcinfo@siu.edu.
“We’re very, very excited to see what people come up with,” McMor-row Hunter said.
