91ֱ��

Have you always wanted to rock an 91ֱ�� College baseball cap or drink from a nifty college mug or water bottle? Clamp your keys to an 91ֱ�� keychain or just own some cool 91ֱ�� College stuff? Now’s the chance!

The Office of Communications is offering current 91ֱ�� students who are completing winter-term projects this January the opportunity to win one of three 91ֱ�� College swag bags by participating in its 2017 Instagram (@oberlincollege) winter term photo contest. The contest will run from January 9-31, 2017. See rules, offer terms, and eligibility below.

The Contest

Every few days in January, @oberlincollege will prompt its student followers to share winter-term project photos and captions that relate to one of three topics: locations, people, and creations. To participate, students must share photos and captions that relate to the most recent prompt using the hashtag #91ֱ��WT. Each prompt will include a few questions to help students determine what it is they should share about their projects in their photos and captions.

@oberlincollege will also post examples of ideal submissions using photographs from past winter-term projects. Students may share more than one photo and caption per prompt, and they can answer as many or as few prompts as they like. All current students who follow @oberlincollege and post photos and captions relating to the contest prompts using the hashtag #91ֱ��WT during the contest period will be eligible to win one of three 91ֱ�� College swag bags. Students with private Instagram accounts can participate in the contest. To be eligible, they must follow @oberlincollege and send a screenshot of their photo and caption as a direct message.

Three winners will be chosen by Office of Communications staff in early February. Winners will be announced on the 91ֱ�� College Instagram account and contacted directly by a member of the communications staff by email shortly thereafter.
