This month, Penn State Today is holding a photo contest for fall foliage images on a University campus. The contest is open to students, faculty and staff at all Penn State locations. Our team will announce the winning photo and the best runners-up will be featured on Penn State Today and Penn State’s social media platforms.

Submission guidelines are available here. Photographers of all skill levels are invited to participate. No need for a fancy camera -- the cell phone in your pocket will do the job. Be sure to read our submission guidelines, and happy photographing!
