Photo of the Month Contest

MIJA is offering students a monthly photo contest included FREE with your MIJA membership! Winners will be featured on MIJA’s website/social media and on JDay 2024.

DEADLINES
Contests close at 11:59 p.m. on the following dates:

  • September 30 (This month may include photos from the start of school in August.)
  • October 31
  • November 30
  • December 22
  • January 31

RULES

  • Each publication is limited to ONE entry per month.
  • Every entry must be a photo taken since the deadline for the previous monthly contest and intended for publication in a school newspaper, yearbook, magazine, broadcast or website.
  • Each entry must be student-produced work and follow ethical photo editing practices.
  • Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Image file size should not exceed 1GB and each photo needs an accompanying caption (copy and pasted into the submission form). To resize an image to meet the requirement, use Photoshop or an online image converter (ex: PicResize).
  • No critiques or feedback will be provided by the judges for each submission—this is solely a recognition event and must be run this way to make sure winners are announced by the 10th of the following month.
