You have a lot of thoughts and feelings about the Gulf.  Do you also have images that express them?  Voices on the Gulf is looking for one original image done by a student to use as the icon for this website. It can be one of your photographs, a piece of your art, or any original creation of yours.  Upload your image by September 24th and enter to win. If you're not sure what makes a good icon, a good place to start is 7 Principles of Effective Icon Design, by Sean Hodge.

About the contest:

  • All community members are invited to submit icon design concepts for Voices on the Gulf. Not a member yet?  Join here.
