  • Submissions for annual Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Photography Contest due Nov. 3

    Monday October 28, 2024

    Did you take some great photographs this summer? Enter your photo(s) in the second annual Detroit Mercy Photography Contest!

    Photography offers a mode of creative communication and a lens into the communities we inhabit and visit. Photographs can capture various moments and expressions, people, places and events. As such, the Office of Academic Affairs and Center for Excellence in Teaching & Learning would like to invite all Detroit Mercy community members to submit digital photographs for consideration as part of a special 2024 photography contest.

    You can submit one photograph per category. This contest is open to all employees and students across all Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà campuses who will be employed or enrolled in Fall 2024. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 3, 2024.

    First-place winners in each category will receive cash prizes and an enlarged, mounted copy of their winning photograph!

    Be sure to visit the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà photo contest page for contest rules, submission and release forms, and to view the previous winners.

    Current categories for submissions include:

    • Abstract/Conceptual: Images of unusual patterns, lighting or objects recognized for their design element (i.e., streaking light photos, mechanical structures, reflections in glass or metal, etc.)*
    • People: Photos of people, alone or in a group. Such pictures may be candid, humorous, journalistic or interpretative portraits where an emphasis is placed on the person, not the environment.*
    • Nature/Scenic: Images of animal life, plant life, wild creatures, insects, landscapes, seascapes, underwater, architectural, industrial scenes, seasonal scenes, etc.*
    • After Dusk to Dawn: Details the photographic imagery captured after the sun goes down. This includes but is not limited to starry skies, life under neon lights, streaking traffic lights, night life, etc.*
    • Digital Manipulation: Images are to be digitally enhanced or altered to create a different photograph other than what was originally taken. Removed images, inserted images and cloned images may be used to create a different picture. Images should still appear to be a photograph and not a collage. All images used are to be from the photographer, not taken from other sources.

    *Appropriate and accepted image enhancement in these categories must be limited to minor adjustments such as contrast, exposure, cropping, HDR, dodge and burn.

    For inspiration, take a look at the 2023 winners and honorable mentions. Last year’s winners and honorable mentions included an administrator, nine students and three professors across multiple colleges and disciplines.

    The photos of last year’s winners will be displayed in the Office of Academic Affairs for the 2024-2025 academic year!

    You may direct any questions to photocontest@udmercy.edu.

    Call for judges: If you are interested in serving as a judge for the 2024 photo contest, please send an email expressing your interest to photocontest@udmercy.edu for consideration.
