Love a great campus photo? Here’s your chance to vote for one from Sonoma State!

Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to participate in CSU’s Photo of the Year contest. Each CSU submitted an entry earlier this year; all of the entries and a voting link can be found here: https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/news/Pages/Photo-of-the-Year-2025.aspx

The contest celebrates standout moments from the 2024-25 academic year with images captured by photographers from every CSU campus. Each shot highlights a unique facet of the CSU spirit shared by its faculty, staff, students, and alumni.

Sonoma State’s photo, by alumnus Brennan Chin, is a spectacular shot of the 2024 Fourth of July festivities at Green Music Center, which drew a sold-out crowd for an evening full of music and celebration.

The winning photo and photographer will be recognized at an upcoming CSU Board of Trustees meeting.

Vote!
