Photo of the Month/ Classical Art Contest

Members may submit a photo of anything relating to JCL and the classics, including screenshots of virtual events. It can be a piece of art they make or something they find as well. Chapters will earn five points maximum for participation. This means for up to five people you earn one point for every person who submits a photo or picture. An individual may only submit one photo or art picture. After that you can’t earn any more points just for people submitting. The top 5 submissions will earn 2 points, 4 points, 6 points, 8 points, and 10 points respectively. These will be posted on LJCL’s social media and website. In order to submit you must email your photo to ljclhist@gmail.com by 11:59 at the end of each month. In your email you must include: 

  • Your school
  • Your name 
  • Your grade
  • Caption. These can be as long or short as you want 

Every caption should include:

  • Description of what is in the photo 
  • Attached photo
