Submissions Deadline for HSLI Photo Contest Extended to Monday, September 11

Posted on September 11, 2023April 11, 2025 by Eric Edwards

Want to share a unique program, project, or event at your library? Need an opportunity to practice your photography skills? Consider submitting an image for the HSLI photo contest!

The submission should adhere to the following guidelines.

  • no strict requirements for the file type and size, but JPEG or a similar format would be ideal
  • should show an innovative, creative, or fun activity in the submitter’s library that goes beyond just everyday operations; for examples, check the Illinois Library Association’s contest.
  • if possible, the activity should relate to the health sciences or medicine in some way, but that is not a requirement
  • provide a brief description of the activity (1-2 sentences) that makes the photo’s content easy to understand, even to someone who is unfamiliar with the activity
  • people in the photo do not necessarily need to be HSLI members, but the person taking and submitting the photo should be
  • identifying people in the photo is not required, and the submitter should make certain to ask for permission from people in the photo before sharing any identifying information, or even taking the photo in the first place, if necessary 
  • should be in good taste and adhere to the HSLI Code of Conduct

Please e-mail all submissions to Eric Edwards, at eedwards@ilsos.gov or president@hsli.org, by Monday, September 11. The membership will then have the chance to vote on a favorite photo, using criteria based on the above guidelines, in early September. Eric Edwards will announce the winner at the HSLIBusiness Meeting, which will take place online Tuesday, September 26, from 10:00 to 11:00 AM CDT. The winning photo and the accompanying description will appear on the HSLI website.
