UW Geriatric Center Now Accepting Photo Contest Entries

A $250 cash prize is available to two winners in a summer photo contest sponsored by the University of Wyoming Geriatric Education Center (WyGEC).

Photos must be taken in Wyoming this summer and be submitted by the Friday, Aug. 22, deadline. The photos will be used on a website for Wyoming’s new Center on Aging. Prizes will be awarded in both student and community categories with cash awards of $250, $100 and $50 in each category. Winning photos will be displayed this fall at the UW Art Museum.

“We want photos that showcase the heritage of Wyoming and present positive images of the aging population that include, but are not limited to, creating fun memories, spotlighting hobbies and talents, exhibiting symbolic items of Wyoming, displaying our gorgeous landscape, uncovering state history and capturing Wyoming’s older generation,” says Christine McKibbin, WyGEC project director.
