Just For the Health of It Photo Contest

People, Places and Pets

To support the university’s commitment to a healthy workplace, the university’s Healthy Workplace Committee (HWC) would like to offer you the opportunity to recognize the special people, places and pets that have helped you navigate the disruptions, isolation and uncertainties of life, particularly over these last couple of challenging years.

This summer, snap some photos of the important people in your life, places or spaces where you’ve found joy, serenity and meaning, or your furry friends, and share them with us.

Using the online form, submit photos related to one or more of the categories listed below, together with a caption, for a chance to win one of three prizes and be acknowledged within the university community.

The HWC will announce winning photos in late September and feature a photo gallery through the university’s media outlets. First, second and third-place winners will receive gift cards as prizes.
