New Blog Feature: Caption Writing Contest

We’re introducing a new monthly feature on the blog: a photo caption contest! Each month, we will publish a photo taken on campus that highlights our unique community. Staff are invited to submit a caption of up to 20 words, which will be voted on via Slack or Google Form by their fellow staff. The author of the caption with the most votes will receive a small prize. 

Here is our inaugural photo! Submit your caption of up to 20 words to people@emerson.edu by March 22 at 5:00 pm EST. Look out for voting to begin the week of March 27. 

We welcome you to submit photos for consideration as well. Email your photos to people@emerson.edu.
