The Instagrammy Awards
The WINNERS have been chosen!
Winners were announced at the inaugural Instagrammys Award Ceremony on Friday, April 8.
This spring, the Student Government Association and the Office of Communications and Marketing are teaming up to bring the UL Instagrammy Awards to campus. From the most creative to the most spirited, there is room for everyone in this competition!
Starting on Feb. 29, tag your public Instagram photos with the hashtag #ULIG16 and at least one of the hashtags for the nine categories listed below. Have an old gem that you want us to consider? No problem! Tag your older posts in the comments to make them eligible. If you have a private account, you can enter by sending a screenshot of the Instagram post with the proper tags to Instagrammys@louisiana.edu.
Nominate yourself or another student to receive the Best Instagram Account Award (Student). The lucky individual who wins this award will get $100 in Cajun Cash! Nominate a student organization to win the Best Instagram Account (Student Organization). The winning group will get to take over the @ULLafayette Instagram account for an entire week!
Instagrammys and prizes will be awarded at the Instagrammy Awards Ceremony on April 8th in the Student Union Ballroom. Get ready for a fabulous night of great photography, entertainment, free food, giveaways, and other surprises as we pull out the stops to recognize the students who wow us online!
