CQUniversity is aware that many of its students and prospective students are digital natives so it's splitting with the tradition of a standard photo competition - literally.

For the next six weeks, the University will encourage entries for an 'Explore Your Options' social media photo sharing competition.

Details are via http://www.cqu.edu.au/explore/explorecqucomp

Students and prospective students will be encouraged to take photos using Instagram, Split Pic, Dubblen or any other photo smartphone application that enables multiple images/split images.

Entrants can share as many photos as they like throughout the contest by hash-tagging #explorecqu . Any photo with the hashtag #explorecqu will appear on CQUniversity's Facebook Instagram tab and will also post on the Facebook and twitter feed.

The first prize picture chosen by a judging panel (with criteria based on creativity, fun, originality and the picture's relevance to career decision/studying) will win $500 in travel vouchers.

Weekly winners ($20 prize packs) will be selected based on the funniest/most liked photo which will be determined by the amount of Facebook likes the photo receives.
