The three categories for our photo contest in August are UNITY, HUMOR, and GREEN.  All three are open to interpretation and entries will be judged by both a panel as well as by a popular vote at the Global Cafe.  We’re giving away $50 for the winners in each category as determined by the panel.

A few rules:

Please submit your photos in print form, no larger than 11×14.

It’s recommended that you matte your prints.  No frames.

Contestants can submit up to 3 photos per category.

Submissions must be entered between 12:30 and 2PM at the Global Cafe on Aug 3rd.

Each entrant can win once in each category.

Family friendly pictures.

Winning prints will be auctioned off to raise funds for our two causes.
