The Schwerdtfeger Library is now accepting entries for the 8th annual AOSS Photo Contest.   Submit your best weather photo by Friday, March 30 to the Schwerdtfeger Library for a chance to win.  Anyone who works or takes classes in the AOSS building is eligible to compete.

Last year’s winners will be invited to judge along with an SSEC staff member and an AOS graduate student.  Prizes will be awarded for first, second, and third place, as well as two honorable mentions.  A small reception will be held later this semester at which the winners of the contest will be announced.  All of the submitted photos will be displayed in the third floor corridor outside the Schwerdtfeger Library. 

Contest rules and the entry form can be found here: https://go.wisc.edu/6l2f91.  Please submit the completed form along with an 8x10 unframed photographic print to the Schwerdtfeger Library, and send a digital file of the photo to library@ssec.wisc.edu. 

Photographs from previous contests can be viewed online at http://library.ssec.wisc.edu/photo_Contest/.

If you have any questions, please contact the Schwerdtfeger Library at library@ssec.wisc.edu or stop by room 317.
