Submission Guidelines

To enter, simply e-mail your photos to photos@onwardhealthcare.com along with a few sentences about where the picture was taken -- and include your name, profession, and mailing address. Submissions will be accepted from Monday, September 17th, 2012 through Friday, November 2, 2012. Entrants must be working in a travel healthcare position (nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, nurse practitioner, etc) to be eligible to win. Only one finalist photo will be accepted per person, but you can submit as many times as you like!

How Winners Will Be Chosen

Once the submission deadline is over, we'll select our top finalists. Each finalist will have their own page on Onward Healthcare, where our viewers may vote for their favorites by "liking" them on Facebook. Winning photos will also be featured in the Onward Healthcare blog, on our Pinterest, and on our Facebook page, with the first name and location of the photograph used. Voting will run for two weeks -- from Tuesday, November 6th, 2012 through Tuesday, November 20th, 2012. In the case of a tie, a five-day runoff will be held. Otherwise, a winner will be announced by Saturday, November 24, 2012.
