UW Open House Caption Contest - Photo #1

Tomorrow in the Duckworth Centre, between the hours of 9-2 and 6-8, the University of Winnipeg Library will be participating in the Information Fair at the annual Open House (http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/openhouse/). The Library's booth will be more awesome than the others as it will feature a Caption Contest encouraging witty remarks pertaining to three photos from the holdings of the Archives and Records Centre. The best caption will be awarded a $100 gift card from the UW Bookstore.  In order to encourage more participation, online submissions will also be accepted via this blog in the comments section.  I have captioned the three photos below to get those creative juices flowing. Remember to leave your name and an email address or phone number so that we can contact you if you are the winner. 

Online submissions will be received and vetted by the author of this blog prior to their publication online. Personal information will be removed from the submission prior to its publication on the blog. This information is collected under the authority of The University of Winnipeg Act, and pursuant to The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. It is used only to enter you into the contest. If you have questions regarding this collection please visit www.uwinnipeg.ca/index/admin-fippa.

Thanks and good luck everyone!
