The SBS Department seeks photography entries from SBS students, faculty, and staff members. We are hoping to capture images of Public Health related criteria, more specifically close to the realm of Social and Behavioral Sciences in Public Health. Some ideas could include masters students’ summer practica, doctoral students’ ongoing research, or public health studies. The photographs should illustrate the work of the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, represent and convey how the work makes a positive impact on our local or global community and should represent subjects optimistically.
Participants may enter photographs in two categories:
- Photo Series: One entry constitutes at least four and up to eight photographs. The photos should be sequenced to tell a story and all be black and white or color. Limited to one entry per student.
- Single Photograph:Students may enter a single photograph in color or black and white. Students can enter up to four single photographs as separate entries.
Submission Details: Email photos and entry information to tigarrison@hsph.harvard.edu by March 3, 2017.
Each entry must include the following information:
- Participant’s name
- Program, Title, or Role in the University
- Year (students)
- Project name (title of practicum project, study, or research)
- Photograph title(s) and if a series, please include a description of the series.
Each photo must be a jpeg, at full resolution (or at minimum 2750×3500) for optimal printing quality. We recommend checking your camera settings to ensure your photos will meet this requirement. Please note that iPhone photos will not meet the optimal resolution needed to enlarge photos.
Photos depicting recognizable people must be accompanied by a signed release form for each person in the photograph.
Release forms will be provided upon request.
