When Pictures Speak ('PICTURE OF THE MONTH' BY LAW SOC)

Hello everyone!

Law-Soc is back with a new edition of the last year’s photography contest!

We recognize the immense potential and talent in you as stunning photographers and therefore have come up with the ‘PICTURE OF THE MONTH’ for every month of each trimester. All you have to do is send us a picture that you feel is related to the ‘theme for the month’ with a caption of minimum 1 and maximum 100 words and we will make professional photographers select ‘the picture for the month’.

The end result of this exercise would be a compilation of the best pictures across the three trimesters either in an electronic journal or a photography journal (hard copy) that would be distributed in and outside college. The pictures would also constantly be put up on the Notice Board for Law Schoolites, faculty and staff to view, and uploaded on our blog: http://law-soc.blogspot.com and facebook profile: lawsoc.nlsiu@gmail.com, for outsiders to view them.

Well that’s not all! Finally we will hold a Photography Contest during the Univ Week where the best pictures would be awarded with a cash prize and a momento!!!

So if you are born a photographer, a picture freak or love your camera and photography in general, this is the best way you can contribute not only to Law School but also to the society at large!

The first theme for the Picture of the Week shall be out tomorrow.

We look forward to your active contribution!...Lets make pictures speak! J
