Capture a moment that expresses your well-being and creativity, then share it in the College-wide Wellness Photography Contest from September 22 to Oct 17, 2025.

Open to all current RRC Polytech students and staff. Watch our Frame of Mind Photography Workshop recording for inspiration.

For the contest: Submit one original photo captured on your smartphone or camera that reflects your wellness perspective or activities. Each entry celebrates personal expression and contributes to a collective gallery of wellness.

Your photo should meet simple specs for clarity and display:

• Digital image can be taken with a regular camera, smart phone or tablet.
• Format: JPEG or PNG format. (Please convert HEIC to JPEG file before submitting, usually done when exporting/sending image.)
• Image Size: Images must not exceed 1600px W x 1200px H.
• File Size: Should be 2MB or under.
• Photo should be unfiltered and unedited to preserve authenticity.
• Along with your submission, you will be asked to sign a participant photo release form to confirm permission for the College to share your images in digital and physical showcases, social media and promotional materials.
• Submission end date October 17, 2025 at 3PM.
• Submission will be entered into a random draw for one of ten gift cards.

Beyond the draw, selected images will shine during Thrive Week, in an Immersion Room Gallery Showcase, a unique opportunity to see your work projected on a large scale, surrounding viewers in a shared atmosphere of reflection and inspiration.

This showcase celebrates individual voices but also creates a collective experience where photos spark conversation, connection and community well-being.
