PaGaLGuY is back with the Best B-School PHOTOGRAPHY contest 3.0. This time, we would like you to show off your business school’s architecture… wherever in the world it is located.
Yes, the contest is international this year! So we invite MBA students, professors from across the world — Europe, America, Asia, Australia or wherever else — to click three pictures showing off the beautiful architecture of their business schools and send them to us as entries to this contest.
(Martians, we will consider you next year.)
The best four entries will win Amazon (or Flipkart) Gift Certificates worth $100.
(Previous years’ Contest Entries)
What do you mean by architecture?
Just shoot good pictures of your business school’s buildings, hallways, strange towering structures, amphitheaters or anything else that stands out, or doesn’t! Add in some people maybe, to bring life to the architecture. Let’s shower some attention on those ol’ bricks!
# NO INSTAGRAM PLEASE! BE NATURAL!
Prizes
Depending on where they live, the shutterbugs behind the four best pictures shall win Amazon or Flipkart Gift Certificates worth $100.
Anyone can participate, you need not be an MBA student. Just make sure it’s a b-school you’re shooting.
Sweet! Where do I send the entries?
Email them to editor@pagalguy.com with the subject “[Insert B-school Name] Photo Contest” before December 12, 2012. Mention the following in your entry,
- Name of business school shot

Rule Book
1. Send us the original full-size images. Remember this is a contest of talented photography, not ‘photoshopping’. Keep image editing to a bare minimum! No retro filters please!
2. If your b-school is part of a university, please send us pictures of your b-school buildings only, not from the rest of the university!
3. Only fresh photographs will be entertained. Photographs taken months ago will not make the cut. Make sure you have you have your time and date settings on while clicking the pic.
4. The pictures must have been clicked by YOU. Don’t make your photographer friend click them for you or select stock photographs from your institute website.
5. PaGaLGuY will gain full, unlimited and irrevocable copyright to use all the photographs sent as entries for its publications in the future. We will always provide credit to the photographer whenever we use them, though.
6. The decision of the judge will be final and bindng.
So, bring it on shutterbugs! We are waiting!
