Congrats to our first Summer Photo Contest winners

Keep submitting your #ufatplay photos for a chance to win a UF giveaway!

Thank you to everyone who has submitted photos to UF at Work’s summer photography contest, which remains open through Aug. 16.

Our first-place winner for June is Tina Thuy Nguyen, end-user computing specialist for the Warrington College of Business, who shared the photo of Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park pictured above.

“I took a trip to Colorado in May and was lucky enough to see a snowy mountain,” said Nguyen. “It actually snowed two days before I flew in.”

Nguyen won two tickets to a performance in UF Performing Arts’ 2019–20 season.

Our second-place winner is Christian Schnier, systems analyst for the Academic Health Center’s IT Clinical Applications, for the photo at right, which he took on a trip to Washington state in May. Schnier won the following books from University Press of Florida: Made in Florida: Artists, Celebrities, Activists, Educators, and Other Icons in the Sunshine State and In Season: Stories of Discovery, Loss, Home, and Places In Between.

Thanks to the generosity of our UF partners who donated giveaways, we’re excited that we can also announce third-place winners this year. This month, Sean Pacheco, program assistant in Department of Medicine’s Division of Cardiology, took third place for the photo at left. Pacheco will receive a padfolio from the UF Bookstore.

Learn more about giveaways, ground rules and how to submit your photos. Also, check out these tips for how to improve your nature photography from Brianne Lehan, a photographer and videographer in UF’s Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing.

As you travel far and wide or enjoy everything Gainesville has to offer this summer, keep the great photos coming and look for the second set of winners in UF at Work next month!
