AUK Library Announces Results of Photography Competition

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the American University of Kuwait (AUK), the Library held a photography competition called AUK Library 10 in which photographs taken by students in and around the AUK Library were submitted to compete for prizes. The competition was run by the Library's official Instagram account; @AUK_Library, and it gave students a chance to show their appreciation of the AUK Library through their photography skills. The competition started in February and ended in March 2014.

Students participating in the competition were required to hashtag their submission with "#AUKLIBRARY10". The contest involved almost 24 contestants, and each contestant was allowed to submit a maximum of three entries. Prizes for the winners included an iPad mini and gift cards. "We encouraged the contestants to have fun and be creative with their submissions," said Asmaa Al-Kanan, Director of the University Library.

Out of sixty photo submissions, the winning entries for the competition were selected by a committee of judges comprised of William Anderson, Assistant Professor of Studio Arts; Roland Lopes, Web Developer & Luminis (MyAUK) Content Administrator; Patrick Makoul, Graphic Designer; and the Library Director.
