Theme and Subject

The theme of the photo should relate to STEM fields and focus on ideas of science and learning. The photographer should feel free to capture any subject they see fit. However, the best photo will clearly express both in a creative and engaging way!

Composition

Composition is how the subject and supporting elements of the photo are arranged. Rule of thirds, balance, use space, and point of view are just some examples of ways to arrange photos.

Lighting, Color, and Exposure

Lighting and color can control the mood and tone of a photo. Exposure refers to how much light enters a camera, the intensity of the light, and for how long. Each of these are a balancing act on their own and can create unique and inspiring photos.

Creative, Original, ImpaCtful 

Photos can capture moments, but they can also give us new perspectives. Each is a unique perspective from the view of the photographer and the best of them can inspire us in dazzling ways.
