This year's theme: Expand Your Global Palate

The idea of expanding your global palate can bring with it vivid imagery and memories of scents and flavors. Your global palate, however, reaches beyond the edible and into the experiences you fill your life with. To capture this growth in palate can a challenging and beautiful endeavor. As we move into this new academic year, it is critical that each of us continue to expand our global palate through experiences and engagement with the many communities around us. 

What is your visual slant on expanding your global palate in 2022?

All members of the JMU Community are encouraged to submit their best photos to exemplify this year’s theme. Photos are submitted into categories: Nature, Architecture, Human Spirit, and Community. We encourage you to submit photographs from the past year which portray poignant moments or experiences that 2022 has brought into your life. 

Submission + Voting Deadline: Sunday, September 12, 2021 at 11:59PM EST.

Winners will be chosen in each category by a panel of globally-minded judges and the photo with the most "likes" will receive the People's Choice Award.
