Career Options Magazine

Career Options is Canada’s premier publication on youth and careers. The high-quality images you submit will accompany articles about job search skills, career paths, graduate school applications, nailing that interview and much more!

If one or more of your photos are selected for publication in the Winter/Spring 2010 issue, your byline will appear alongside each one, and you’ll also receive credit as a Contributing Photographer in the Career Options masthead. Just imagine: it’s your work in national circulation!

Your photos might be of anything: a person in a job or career that interests you, an object that represents a field of work, campus life at your institution. You don’t have to be a professional photographer—all we ask is that you do your best to create eye-catching, original images that are suitable to print in the magazine. Check out back issues of Career Options online to see photos we’ve used in the past.

For more information, send an e-mail to [email protected] or visit the Career Options website at www.careeroptionsmagazine.com. All photos (maximum 3 photos per contestant) can be uploaded at www.careeroptionsmagazine.com/photocontest.*

Remember, the deadline is December 31, 2009! ENTER TODAY!

*Your photos cannot be accepted into the competition without your agreement to all terms.
