Editor’s Note: This story has been updated with changes due to inclement weather.
Rain or shine, keep your eyes peeled for the perfect shot. Because of the cancellations and closings caused by Hurricane Helene, University Communications has extended the submission deadline for A Week at the G through October 5.
All photos taken by UNCG community members between September 23-October 5 may be uploaded here. They may become finalists in this year’s contest.
Think about those picture-perfect moments you find throughout your day at UNC Greensboro. They might be something you want to share with the rest of the campus during A Week at the G.
During this week, UNCG is sending photographers around campus, capturing moments that show off the best things about being a Spartan. Those moments can happen in class, during a club meeting, on the field or stage, while grabbing a bite at the EUC, or simply walking down College Avenue. It can be a spontaneous moment happening that week or one of those moments you look forward to every week. They’ll be shared on social media and on the web.
Anyone can participate by requesting a photographer ahead of time to come to your class or event or by taking your own photos and submitting them in real time during the week to the A Week at the G website.
If you need inspiration, watch the highlight reel from 2023.
Here’s how it works:
Be authentic. The purpose of A Week at the G is to show community members, prospective students, current students, employees, and families why it’s great to be a Spartan any day and every day.
Look for photogenic moments wherever you find yourself on campus during the week of September 23-27, which showcase the work of students, faculty, and staff. These may be performances or rehearsals, classroom exercises, lab work, presentations, club and Greek life meetings, social events, casual gatherings, athletic games and warm-ups, and service projects. They must take place during A Week at the G, not before or after.
For those spontaneous moments, take your own photos during the week and send your best shots to University Communications or tag them #AWeekattheG on social media. They may get featured on the A Week at the G website and archived to further promote your department or area of study.
Submitted photos are also eligible for prizes! Last year’s winning submitted photo was displayed on UNCG’s billboard on Gate City Boulevard.
Post your pics on social media using the hashtag #AWeekattheG.
All information about A Week at the G can be found on the event website.
