Picture It! Safe Workplaces for Everyone

About the Challenge

In celebration of our 40th anniversary, OSHA announces the Picture It!: Safe Workplaces for Everyone photo contest. The contest challenges anyone with a passion for photography to capture an image of workplace safety  and health and share it with OSHA. The goal of the contest is to kick off a national collaboration that relies on your talent, imagination and creativity to raise awareness of workplace safety and health. You can interpret "image of workplace safety and health" in any way you choose; you are not restricted to particular subjects or themes.

Prizes

The winning and finalist photographs will be displayed prominently on the Photo Contest web page.

Additionally, first, second and third place winners' photographs will be framed and displayed within OSHA's National Office in Washington, D.C., serving as a daily reminder of the real-life impacts of OSHA's mission for leading policymakers and prominent professionals.

The first place winner will also receive a framed certificate from U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. Second and third place winners will also receive a framed certificate from Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels.

Judging Criteria

Prizes will be awarded for the most outstanding portrayals of occupational safety and health in terms of artistic value and ability to raise awareness of safety and health to the general public. Specifically, photographs will be judged against the following criteria:

• Quality of photograph
• Suitability for possible use in OSHA publications
• Clarity of the safety and health information (or "message") conveyed
• Originality
• Creativity
• Inclusion of worker, employer, or workplace imagery
