Walk in Love Photo Contest

About the Contest

Walk in Love is a university-wide photo contest celebrating moments of love, care, connection and belonging in ASU community life.

Who Can Participate

Current ASU students, staff and faculty are invited to submit one original digital photo and a brief written description.

What to Submit

Your photo should capture a meaningful moment related to the ASU community. It may show experiences of giving, receiving or witnessing love, care, support, connection or belonging. Photos may be taken on or off campus. However, the photo or the moment it represents should have a meaningful connection to the ASU community as part of the ASU experience.

Contest Theme

Love can be expressed in many ways and directed toward oneself, other people, the community, the environment, and more. We welcome diverse expressions of love in ASU community life.

Prizes

Five People’s Choice winners will each receive a $100 cash award based on community votes. Additional category awards will also recognize diverse expressions of love, such as self-love, friendship, mentorship, campus life and unexpected kindness. Submitters and community voters will also be entered into a random drawing for additional prizes.
