Impact – the sense one gets upon viewing an image for the first time. Compelling images evoke
laughter, sadness, anger, pride, wonder or another intense emotion. The initial impact should
evoke a sense of what agricultural education is.
Creativity – the original, fresh, and external expression of the imagination of the maker by using
the medium to convey an idea, message or thought.
Story Telling – refers to the image’s ability to evoke imagination in what is happening in the
photograph. Photographs should tell a story about what agricultural education means to you.
