What judges are looking for:
Personal connections. J-Term gives Carthage students an opportunity to engage with people (or animals) in meaningful ways. Move in close to focus on facial expressions and tell a story.
Experiences of a lifetime. Photos can capture special J-Term memories such as experiencing something new or an accomplishment.
Carthage pride! We want to see Firebirds on J-Term. Use the Carthage banner and wear Carthage spirit wear.
NOTE: All photos received through the contest may be used in Carthage publications.
