Photo Contest

Wondering how to channel your creative energy? AARC has the answer. Enter the our Photo Contest!

Here’s how it works:
Each month AARC Times editors will look at the photos submitted and we will choose a winner to receive free dues on renewal. The winner will be automatically entered into the publication’s Photo-of-the-Year Contest, which will take place in the November, 2008 issue.

The Photo-of-the-Year winner will see his or her photograph on the cover of the January, 2009 issue of AARC Times!

What kinds of photos are we looking for? Anything and everything related to the profession of respiratory care! So start planning your “photo shoots” right now.

Just follow these simple rules:

  • Provide a signed release for any patients or co-workers pictured in your photos. Photos cannot be published without signed releases.The release should state: “I hereby give the AARC permission to use my photo (my child’s photo) in AARC publications.” The photo release form is available in PDF format.
  • Photos will not be returned and become the property of the AARC.
  • Please submit no more than three photos per monthly contest. Monthly winners may not submit additional photos for the remainder of the calendar year in which they won the monthly contest.
  • Any photographic prints of good quality are acceptable. Please read the requirements we have provided below so that you are sending your photo in a format that can be used and reproduced in a magazine.

IMPORTANT: Photo Requirements

CameraPlease read the following information. Adhering to these requirements will assure that your photograph will be acceptable for publication. A good photograph in the wrong format may render it unsuitable for reproduction.

  • The photo needs to be in a vertical format to match the shape of a magazine. Turning your camera sideways will create a photo in vertical format.

Photo Format

  • If your photo is taken with a standard film camera, we will need a color print shipped to us at Photo Contest, AARC, 9425 N. MacArthur Blvd., Suite 100, Irving, TX 75063-4706.
  • Most digital cameras give you a choice of settings for image resolution. Photos taken at lower resolution settings take up less room on your memory card but will not result in the best prints. Set your camera for the highest resolution photo and save it as RAW or TIFF. JPEG is also acceptable.
  • We prefer that you send a CD of your photo since they will probably be too large to e-mail. If you do try to e-mail them, please send them directly to our production manager, Donna Knauf, at knauf@aarc.org and indicate clearly in your e-mail that the photos are for the Photo Contest.
