COVID-19 Community Archive Contest Winners

Posted on by

Thank you all for participating in our COVID-19 Community Archive submission contest!

The COVID-19 Community Archive seeks to preserve and make accessible content that was captured and created by students, faculty, staff and alumni about their lived experiences during the pandemic. Our goal in developing this digital portal is to serve as a repository for those of us who may be documenting this historic moment.

We received incredible submissions throughout the summer contest. Here are the three randomly selected winning submissions:

  • Illustration of a person wearing sunglasses, a hat, a hoodie and a face mask on a beach
    Self Portrait #8 During Covid Lockdown by Jerry Waese
  • Two loaves of bread on a navy tablecloth
    Covid Baking Chronicles by Regina Ledesma
  • Black and white self portrait of a man reading a book surrounded by toilet paper rolls
    Passing and Searching For Lost Time During The Pandemic by Gregory Hertel
The 3 winning submissions by Jerry Waese, Regina Ledesma and Gregory Hertel

Although the contest is closed, you can still submit your work to the University’s COVID-19 Digital Community Archive Project by using our online submission form. We accept all types of works: photographs, audiovisual recordings, artworks and written content reflecting your experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us in this collaborative project to document these unprecedent times!
