Winter Visions
✨ Welcome to the Winter Visions Virtual Exhibition and Photo Contest Judgement Form!
💥 UNBC faculty, employees, and students: Your participation = 1 entry to our draw during Student Award Night!
📅 Evaluation Deadline: January 31st, 2025
Evaluation link: https://forms.office.com/r/n9UmhRsfht
⏰ By 11:00 AM
🔍 Your thoughtful assessment is crucial as it will help select the three finalist photographers for the exhibition during Student Week 2025. Remember, all submitted photos are displayed anonymously; their assigned numbers are randomly chosen and do not indicate any ranking.
✨ Evaluation Criteria:
- Creativity: Does the photo present a fresh idea or unique perspective?
- Storytelling: Does it convey a meaningful message or capture a resonant moment?
- Adherence to the Winter Theme: How well does the photo reflect the essence of winter?
- Overall Impression: What is your immediate reaction? Does it captivate your attention?
⚠️ Please note: If any bias in voting is detected (like consistently high scores for one photographer), that evaluation may be disregarded.
📜 Important: Use of these photos requires written permission from the owners. Please do not copy or use them elsewhere.
⏳ As the form cannot be saved, we recommend setting aside at least 10 minutes to judge all photos fairly.
🙏 Your invaluable contribution is greatly appreciated!
