Health Disparities in Living Color Campus Wide Photo Contest

The UF Health Disparities Research and Intervention Program (UF HDRIP) aims to promote health, help prevent disease, and eliminate health disparities through community-engaged, interdisciplinary culturally sensitive research, interventions, and policy development.

The UF HDRIP would like to invite you to participate in a campus wide photo contest titled Health Disparities in Living Color.  The contest is an opportunity for UF students and community members to get involved in documenting existing environmental factors contributing to health disparities in Alachua County.

Students interested in documenting existing environmental factors that contribute to health disparities through creative works of expression are encouraged to participate. Contestants who enter are eligible to win monetary prizes including a 1st place $100 Visa gift card, a 2nd place $75 Visa gift card, or a 3rd place $50 Visa gift card. First place winners will have their submission displayed on the UF HDRIP website. The due date for submission is April 1, 2016 by 6:00pm.

We ask that you inform students that pictures taken with individuals should not include the face of the individual. It is acceptable to include pictures that are taken from the back of the person, or that capture parts of their body (e.g., arms, hands, legs, feet) but do not include explicit identifiers such as the person’s face.

This information has been included on our website so that students who visit the website will be informed of which types of pictures are acceptable when including individuals.  

I have attached a copy of the flyer for your reference. For more information you or your members can visit http://ufhealthdisparities.med.ufl.edu/ or contact Ada Ukonu via email at UFHD@Health.ufl.edu.
