Calling all shutterbugs: It’s time for SCHOOL BUS FLEET’s Fifth Annual Photo Contest!
Three winners will receive a $100 cash prize. Each winner plus three honorable mentions will also earn a certificate.
In the past, the contest has been broken into three categories: Operations, Equipment and Maintenance. This year, we’ve decided to open it up to any type of shot related to school transportation, whether or not it fits into one of those categories.
The judges (SBF’s editorial staff) will be looking for strong content and quality. Winners and other notable entries will appear in a pictorial feature later in the year.
To look at last year’s contest pictorial, turn to pg. 28 of the August 2008 issue or visit our online Photo Gallery.
Here are the contest regulations:
Entries must be digital images that are high resolution (about 1200x900 pixels or bigger).
The limit is five entries per person.
Entries must be received by June 5, 2009. Winners will be notified by June 19.
All entries become property of SCHOOL BUS FLEET.
E-mail entries to info@schoolbusfleet.com, with name, title and affiliation.
Or, entries can be mailed on a CD to SCHOOL BUS FLEET, 3520 Challenger St., Torrance, CA 90503.
