Prizes provided by Pike Land Services, Troy, and Polysurveying, Mobile.
You must be a Troy student to win.
Rules:
Here
is a list of 9 coordinates and a bonus set with hints. It will be up to you to
recreate each of the 9 photos from the TV show Friends at the given location with
6 random people that you find at the location or people you have invited to
come with you.
At each location, you will need to log your entry
using this app: https://arcg.is/1zHujC0
. All entries must be complete for them to count. A complete entry must
contain: your whole name, your Troy email address, the location of the photo op
as plotted using location services within the app, and a photograph of six people
arranged similar to the photos of the Friends cast.
You can be in the photos or simply be the photographer.
The photo just needs to be of six people and be similar to the photos provided
for each location. When you hit submit on each entry, the time of that
submission is automatically recorded.
Winners will be notified by email and photos will be
posted on Instagram @troygeospatial.
The app will work within your default web browser on
your phone, tablet, or other device. You do not need to download any external
applications for this competition. The app requires that you enable location
services on your device. The app also requires access to your device’s camera. You
can practice with the app ahead of time, but be mindful that we will be able to
see your practice entries if you submit them.
All individuals must follow basic etiquette or risk
being disqualified. Do not damage campus property in any way. Photos must not
contain inappropriate images or gestures. Such images will be grounds for
immediate disqualification and campus police will be notified if the content is
illegal.
