Today, you are going to take photos on the topic of three central themes: diversity, collaboration, and achievement. Edit them (to make sure there's no smudges/ completely in focus- but no artistic filters), write a statement of 200 words or less and submit your information for a photography contest both here and on My Big Campus for my records (you will not be entered until you submit your photo and statement on the contest page).
Last year TWO of my students won $1000 checks for their college! They choose three winners throughout the state, so needless to say it was a HUGE honor that we won 2/3 of the prize money! Their photographs were accompanied by very strong essays, so I highly recommend spending time on writing a good essay as well as strong photographs.
Here is the information from their website:
The California Association of African-American Superintendents and Administrators (CAAASA) and the F3 Education Awards Foundation reward the artistic and scholastic capabilities of our state's students by conferring five student education awards of $1,000 to high school seniors.
