Special Announcement: Statistics2013 Photo Contest Deadline Extended!

In response to the surging number of submissions in the days leading up to the original deadline, we have extended the submission deadline for the Statistics2013 Photo Contest to December 1.

To refresh your memory, this statistics-oriented photo competition is for secondary-school students (grades/years 7-12) around the world.
The theme for the contest is: “How statistics advances the wellbeing of people in your country or our global society”. Contest organizers are seeking high-quality photos that effectively illustrate the impact of statistics.
The Statistics2013 Photo Contest is organized by continents (excluding Antarctica) and will award cash prizes to the winner of the top photo and the winners on six continents.
The lucky contestant whose photo is selected as the top overall photo from among all images submitted will be awarded a prize of $800 (U.S. dollars)! Additionally, the top three place-winners on each continent will be awarded cash prizes (U.S. dollars) as follows:

• First: $350
• Second: $200
• Third: $150

The contest winners will be announced on or about December 16. Click here for contest criteria.
