Express Your Creativity through PVM’s Monthly Photo Contest

February 7, 2020

The Purdue Veterinary Medicine Communications Team is launching the PVM Photo Contest! The contest will be conducted monthly via Instagram, providing an opportunity for the College’s students, faculty, and staff to show off their creativity. Each month will feature a different theme.  On the last day of each month, three winners will be announced. The first place winner will receive a $20 Amazon gift card and all three submissions will be posted on PVM’s social media platforms.

Participation is easy.  The first contest is this month!  To enter:

  1. Post a photo on Instagram with the theme “My Pet and I”
  2. Tag the photo with #FebruaryPUCVMContest #MyPetandI
  3. Tag and follow @pucvm on Instagram

Submissions will be evaluated based on the quality of the content and relevance to the theme of the month, not on the number of likes received. Please be aware that the content submitted may be shared by PVM on social media platforms, even if it is not one of the top three.

If you have questions, contact the PVM Web Team at vetwebteam@purdue.edu.
