What is it?

When is it?

Why should I enter?

• A chance for you to win one of three large prizes from local photo shops.
• A chance for your photographs to be displayed in the Union and seen by people who appreciate photography
• A chance for your photographs to help the children of Bloomington.

How do I enter?

• Be an IU undergraduate or graduate student
• Take any of your photographs and matte them on 11x14 matte
• Drop them off at the Collins front desk with your name, phone #, e-mail, and address
• Repeat as often as desired

The auction is similar to a standard photo contest and exhibition, but with a twist. The contest is open to all Indiana University students who can submit their photographs in any genre. A panel of Indiana University professors will select twenty to twenty-five winning photographs. The photographs will be exhibited in the Indiana Memorial Union Gallery from November 29th to December 15th. The students who take the top three photographs will win prizes. (More details on the prizes will be coming soon)

Now for the twist. During the time the photographs are on exhibit, we will hold an auction where students, professors, members of the community can bid for the photographs. All the proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Boy's and Girls' Club of Bloomington (note to the photographers: Only the print will be sold. All rights of the image will remain with you)

The deadline for entering submissions into the contest is approximately October 20 , so don't delay and miss a chance to enter this great event. If you are an IU student (especially an undergraduate), this is an rare opportunity to have your work displayed and seen in a highly publicized exhibition. Furthermore, you will be helping the children of Bloomington with your work and could even win a prize.

If you are not an IU student, please come to the auction. You will have the opportunity to take home a beautiful piece of artwork as well as the satisfaction of knowing that every cent of your money is going directly to a needy charity.
