CAPAL17 Photo Scavenger Hunt Rules

Welcome to the CAPAL17 Photo Scavenger Hunt! The CAPAL Communications Committee has created this Photo Scavenger Hunt to generate more online engagement and foster collaboration and networking amongst conference attendees (but also just to have a bit of fun and friendly competition)!

Here are a few things that you will need to know before you start:

  • The CAPAL17 Photo Scavenger Hunt will start on the morning of Tuesday, May 30th and end on Wednesday, May 31st at 9:00PM EST.
  • No registration is required!
  • You can choose to participate individually or in pairs.
  • The questions will be scored on a point-based system.
  • You must answer the questions with a picture that you or your team has taken in order to receive points.
  • Feel free to share your photos on Twitter and/or Facebook using the following hashtags: #CAPAL17 #SH.
  • In order to be considered for prizes, photos must be submitted by email (please use as few emails as possible) to by 9PM EST on Wednesday, May 31st. Please include your name, email address, and phone number.

So now you want to know how to win, right!? The individual/group with the most points will win a prize! Prizes have been generously donated by Library Juice Press and Knit Happens! (Ryerson University Library & Archives). In the event of a tie, we will pick a random name in a draw. The winner(s) will be announced by the last day of the conference (Thursday, June 1st).

Photos will only be reused by CAPAL with the permission of the owner. During the time of the photo scavenger hunt, all questions, comment and/or concerns can be sent to . We will be sure to get back to you ASAP.

Now, get ready….get set….GO!
