Earth Month Photo Contest

The Earth Month Photo Contest invites you to capture the best photo of either local nature or human-nature interaction around campus, Los Angeles or Southern California. This annual contest takes place each April and is open to the entire Oxy community - student, staff and faculty.

Winning photos are displayed in Samuelson Pavilion for two weeks in April. Thereafter, winning photos will be hung on the walls of AGC’s first floor, near the Hameetman Career Center entrance. The winning entry will also be displayed on the homepage of Oxy.edu.
