Whether photography is your passion, hobby or just something you occasionally dabble in, the Office of Research Services (ORS), Division of Occupational Health and Safety (DOHS) invites you to be a part of building and sustaining a positive safety culture at the NIH through photography. You can contribute to the agency’s safety effort by capturing or creating up to three images depicting safe workplaces or activities and sharing them with us, e.g., laboratory workers using personal protective equipment, crossing guards on busy streets, and construction workers using safety gear.

Your photos will be shared with the NIH community through the DOHS’ safety publications, pamphlets and posters. First, second and third place photographs will be framed and prominently displayed outside the ORS Director’s office in Building 31, then go on permanent display in the DOHS conference room in Building 13. Winners will receive recognition and a framed certificate from NIH leadership.

The 2017 submission period is June 28 through December 31. To learn more about the contest, official rules, and the submission and selection process visit: https://go.usa.gov/xNVmU.
