Photos wanted for UCFV Today
As you may have noticed, we’ve been trying to feature a photo a day on the web version of UCFV Today, reflecting the diversity of all that goes on at UCFV. But we can’t be everywhere all the time. If you’re the snap-happy type who carries a camera on campus, consider yourself invited to send us shots you think the whole UCFV community might like to see. We can’t guarantee that we’ll use it and we can’t offer compensation, but if we do use it we’ll give you a photo credit.
Photos should be jpegs, 72 dpi, and 448 pixels wide or larger (we can reduce). Send photos to ucfvtoday@ucfv.ca
