You will be called down to the cafeteria during announcements by Miss Qureshi at the end of 1st period. We will return in time for lunches, and then you will attend your afternoon classes. YOU MUST WEAR WEATHER APPROPRIATE CLOTHING. If you are not in dress code and wearing weather appropriate outdoor gear, you won't be allowed to attend. Only bring yourself, a jacket, and a photo-taking device. If you wish to bring a backpack, it must be left on the bus. If you wish to reserve a camera from the school, you must do so no later than Wednesday in class, the day before the trip. You can do that by filling out the form to the right. |

The Contest
Each of you will compete with one another in a photography contest.
The challenge? TAKE THE BEST PHOTOGRAPH WHILE ON THE SILO CITY TOUR!
You will have a chance briefly edit your pictures and submit them to Miss Qureshi during class the day after the field trip. Each student is required to participate.
Who will vote? There will be an online voting poll open to everyone at the school. Images will be posted anonymously by Miss Qureshi, so no one will know who they are voting for. The winner will be announced next week.
What does the winner get? The winning photograph will be printed, mounted, and exhibited in the Fine Art Center gallery and appear in the art show later this year! You will get to take it home after the show with a certificate acknowledging your winning photography skills.
