Scavenger Hunt
• On February 26 you will be emailed a list of literary items with varying point
values assigned to them. Your job is to find as many of these items as you
can and digitally photograph them.
• All photos submitted for final album or bonuses must be original photos
taken by you during the scavenger hunt (no images found on internet or old
photos). To help ensure this, include yourself in each photo to
demonstrate the originality of photo.
• Album can include multiple shots of same item if necessary for clarity, e.g.
one photo of item with you, one close-up photo of same item alone. Only one
point value will be awarded per item.
• There may be multiple people on a “team” but there must be one primary
person who is photographed with the items. Only one prize will be awarded
per winning album.
• Photographed images of items will not count. That is, if the item you are
hunting is a banana, you must find an actual banana to photograph. You
cannot take a photo of a picture of a banana in a magazine. Possible
exceptions might include a 3D representation, like a toy banana or an
outdoor banana sculpture.
• Unless there is a specific exception noted, you cannot make the item. You
cannot make a banana out of Play-Doh and photograph it.
• An item may require staging, and this is okay. For example if the item is a
banana inside a hat, you can place a banana in a hat to photograph.
• In general: have fun, be creative, don’t be underhanded!
• You are responsible for creating an album with labeled photos. Any photosharing platform that can be accessed without payment is okay to use. Label
photos using the item’s list number and name, e.g. “14 banana in hat”.
• All albums must be emailed to Liz by 7:00 PM EST on March 1, 2014 (may
be link to online album). You will receive a confirmation email upon receipt
and access of your album.
Facebook Group Bonus Points
• You have the option of joining the Facebook Scavenger Hunt group as a way
to connect with others on the hunt and to earn bonus points.
• Each day of the scavenger hunt, a bonus challenge will be posted to this
group. You have 24 hours to find the requested item and post a photo of it to
the group page. Bonus points will be awarded for all who successfully
complete challenges.
• You can choose to participate in any or all of the challenges. You will only be
awarded points for those challenges you complete; no points are deducted
for non-participation.
• Participants must have a FB account and join designated group to participate
in bonus activities.
Winner
• Winner will be chosen by whoever accumulates the most points. In the event
of a tie, email timestamp on submitted final album will determine winner (who
submitted first).
