Student photo contest: see your photo on the Tisch website!

Tisch Library is pleased to announce we're running a student photo contest for our website. The winner of the contest will have their photo featured on our homepage behind the JumboSearch box during the spring semester. An ideal photo will capture the uniqueness of the Tufts campus while complementing the rest of the website.

Students can submit up to 3 photos to the contest. Photos can be taken anywhere on campus but should not include identifiable people in them. Photos should be in landscape orientation and a minimum of 2000 pixels wide.
