As I See It
Arts at Michigan believes there is an artist inside each of us. The As I See It Photo Competition is your opportunity to share your photographic genius! Competitions will be held periodically throughout the year, with different themes for each round. Submissions are narrowed down by staff, and then the finalists are voted on by the public in the Unions and by the U-M Community online. Winners get great prizes, so be sure you’re signed up for Arts Info, our weekly newsletter, so you’ll hear about our future contests and opportunities.
The votes have been tabulated for the As I See It Photography Competition, and Sam Kapor's photograph entitled "A Child's Dance" came in first place! We received hundreds of votes, both online and through ballots in the Unions. The finalists are shown below with information about the photographs that won. Thank you to everyone who participated, and congrats to the winners! Be sure you’re signed up for Arts Info, our weekly newsletter, so you’ll hear about our future contests and voting opportunities!
