Spring Into Sports Photo Contest

Media Center Photography Contest

Calling all Eastvalley Photographers!

It is time for another Media Center Photo Contest!  Our theme is “Spring into Sports”.  All Eastvalley students may enter an original 8”x10” photo representing the theme from March 15, 2012 until April 15, 2012.  Some ideas might be: participants playing the sport (organized or pickup), equipment used playing the sport, or the sports arena.  Please no images of human faces. The winning photographs will be displayed in the Media Center as soon as they arrive.  If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Janice Ritt in the Media Center. 

Thank you so much for your support!
