Creativity reigns: Photo, video contest winners named

The fifth annual CTM Photo Contest and the second Student Video Contest prove without a doubt that Skidmore is one creative community.

Nearly 150 photos were entered in the photo contest, which had "Focus on Skidmore" as a theme. Participants were asked to show the value of the Skidmore experience in photographs, by capturing student events, study-abroad experiences, classes, clubs, sports. The only rule: photos must have been taken on Skidmore property, or were required to highlight a Skidmore event elsewhere or abroad.

One prolific student, Calder Wilson '11, captured two prizes in each contest. Max Resnick '11 was a dual winner, taking prizes in both categories of the video contest. And Deirdre (Ryan) Lynch, who works at the Tang, is the first staff winner in the photo contest.

Photo contest winners were selected as follows:

First place, a $250 award- Phoebe Pundyk '12 for "Untitled." 

Second place, a $200 award- Ryan Lynch, assistant registrar at the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, for "Untitled." 

A Skidmore senior was a rare double winner this year. Calder Wilson '11 won third place, a $150 award -for "Skidmore." He also won the People's Choice prize (a $250 award) for "Inside the Northwoods Well."

 

 

 

  
 

Said Skidmore Webmaster Liz Katzman, " We had some pretty amazing photos and extremely creative ideas. It boggles my mind how talented our community-students, faculty/staff, and alumni-are and how creative they can be."
