UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Today is holding a photo contest for images that portray pride in being a Penn Stater. The contest is open to students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and local community members from all Penn State locations. Our team will announce the winning photo, and the top images will be featured in Penn State Today, on Penn State News and on other University-wide platforms.

Send us your best photograph that reflects Penn State pride. These could be photos of:

  • Members of the University community showcasing their love for Penn State through what they're wearing or doing;
  • Penn State decor you've displayed in your residence, workplace or community;
  • Members of the University community proudly highlighting their accomplishments that have been made possible thanks to Penn State;
  • Anything that beautifully or uniquely captures what it means to be a proud Penn Stater.

Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to participate. No need for a fancy camera — the cell phone in your pocket will do the job!

Submission deadline: 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 4.
