Participants who do not abide by the following will have their submissions disqualified:
- Participants must currently live in an on-campus residence hall.
- Complete the online application by the deadline. Applications with missing information will be disqualified.
- Do not include photos of you or your roommates in the room. No visible drug or alcohol paraphernalia, promotional materials, pornography or obscene material. Submissions with photos containing any of the previously mentioned items will be disqualified from the contest.
- Any applicable roommates must opt-out of the contest by responding to their Room Decorating Contest – Roommate Agreement email. Roommates do not need to take any action if they agree to their room being submitted to the contest. Submitted photos that are not approved by both roommates will be removed.
- All entries must comply with the Residence Hall Community Standards.
- Entries are judged on the basis of the photographs submitted by residents. In submitting a photo, residents give permission for any images taken during this process to be used indefinitely on Auburn University or departmental website and in marketing materials for the purposes of providing visual examples of on-campus living. Additionally, winning entries may be asked for permission to have photos taken of their room.
Residents should not invest money into improving their rooms solely for the purpose of this contest. Room entries are not judged on how luxurious they appear; instead, entries are judged on the innovative and creative ways that residents have worked together to personalize their rooms.
