Do you like crowd sourcing and photography as much as we do? Then show us what you got by entering our first ever NMC Horizon Project Photo Contest! This is your opportunity to submit a potential cover image for the NMC Horizon Report > 2012 Higher Ed Edition. The photos will be posted anonymously in a Facebook album, and the one with the most "likes" on Facebook will win. The NMC Horizon Report series has an international readership of over one million and growing, and the cover image for each edition is featured across hundreds of websites and news outlets.
Submit up to two photos that represent the future of technology and innovation in higher education.
Contest Details:
Agreement to release your photos to the NMC
Your entry in the contest constitutes your agreement to allow the use of your photos together with your name in the print and electronic versions of the NMC Horizon Report > 2012 Higher Ed Edition, on promotional web and social media materials, and on NMC.org. Entrants retain ownership and all other rights to future use of their photographs.
Format
Photographs should be submitted electronically at maximum resolution in JPEG form, or 300 dpi in TIFF form. Only color photos will qualify; no black and white photos will be accepted. Any images not following this format will not be considered.
Release required for Identifiable People
If people are identifiable in the photo, the contest participant is responsible for the consent of the parties involved. If a photo is selected for print that includes identifiable persons, the photographer must submit a release form from the person or persons in the image with the name, address, and signature of the parties on the release form.
Other Considerations
Previously published material for which non-exclusive rights were granted may be entered as long as you still warrant that you retain full rights to the photo. You must disclose when and where the photo appeared previously upon submission.
Deadline
Photos must be submitted electronically before midnight of January 6, 2012.
Submissions
Up to two photos per entrant can be submitted. Submit your photo(s) to communications@nmc.org with the subject: NMC Horizon Project Photo Submission, and if the file is too large we'll work with you to retrieve it through Dropbox or another file sharing service.
We've posted a few past covers below to give you some inspiration. Best of luck!
