A few days remain to get Wear Red Day photos in for the 2009 competition.
On Sept. 4, the university hosted Wear Red Day.
The contest is divided into categories based on a company’s overall size. To enter, companies need to submit a high-resolution, digital photograph of the entire group wearing red on Sept. 4 along with a note that gives the total number of people in the photo and number of employees at the business.
Photos can be sent via email to WearRed@louisiana.edu. Submissions can also be mailed to P.O. Box 41009, Lafayette, LA 70504. The deadline for photo entries is Friday, Sept. 18.
Photos of all participating businesses will be displayed on the jumbo video screen at home football games throughout this season.
In addition, businesses with the most creative Wear Red slogan or catch phrase that is displayed at their business will be recognized. To enter this competition, simply take a photo of the company sign with the slogan displayed and email it to WearRed@louisiana.edu. The deadline is also Sept. 18.
A special school competition was held as well. Schools can submit a high-resolution, digital photo of students and employees wearing red to WearRed@louisiana.edu along with a note detailing the number of people in the picture and the number of students and employees at the school.
One school will be designated the 2009 Wear Red Champion and will be recognized during an on-field presentation at an upcoming home football game. Photos of all participants will be displayed throughout the home football season on the jumbo video screen at Cajun Field.
