Attention College Student Photographers! We hope that you have been honing your artistic skills over the summer because we have a back-to-school assignment for you. The Zivity Challenge invites college students and alumi photographers and models to collaborate and produce high-quality photo sets that showcase women feeling beautiful and empowered. The Zivity Challenge is an opportunity for aspiring photographers to be published in a nationally recognized media property and to win some cold, hard cash.

What are the prizes?
Zivity will award prizes to The Zivity Challenge winners in each of the following categories:

  • Grand Prize ($1000): Best overall photo set
  • Best Location ($500): Most unusual indoor or outdoor setting
  • Best Theme ($500): Most intriguing story as told through your photos
  • Best Styling ($500): Most thoughtfully designed set, wardrobe, hair, and makeup
  • Community Choice: Special prize for the photo set that earns the most community votes

All winners will be featured in the Zivity newsletter, which will link our subscribers directly to your photo set for instant viewing and voting.

Who is eligible to win?
All college students and alumni photographers submitting photosets with female models 19+ years of age. We do have several rules and requirements regarding the content we present and what we will accept. Most important of these is proper documentation (such as proof of age) and meeting our Content Guidelines. Winners will be required to show proof of college student or alumni status.

When does the contest end?
All contest photo sets and proper documentation must be submitted to Zivity.com before September 30, 2008 to be eligible to win prizes. Non-winning photo sets and photo sets submitted after the contest end date may still be considered for publication on Zivity.
