For many MMA students, summer

months are spent gaining valuable experience

through working, learning, going places, and

participating in experiences such as cadet

shipping, co-ops, internships and training

voyages.

To share these great experiences with MMA

friends and family, the MMA # Photo Contest

was created last year and continues this year

with results of the winning entries shown here,

and at mainemaritime.edu/photocontest.

Later this year, an exhibit of the photos will

be in the Harborview Room of the Alfond

Student Center, replacing the 2015 exhibit.

Those artworks will be moved to the second

floor of Leavitt Hall.

Next year’s contest, which runs May 1 –

September 1, is open again to alumni, students,

faculty and staff.

Entries can be submitted at mainemaritme.

edu/photocontest and also via social

media using the tags #MaineMaritime and

#PhotoContest. Entries posted on social media

may be open to response or shared by official

Academy pages. Those who post their entries

online will automatically receive a small prize.

This year prizes included a GoPro camera,

FujiFilm Instaz camera, Shutterfly gift cards,

and MMA gear.

Caiden Shea ’20, Power Engineering Technology: The image

is the Milky Way over the Atlantic Ocean, Georgetown, Maine

in mid-August. “As a MMA student, I tell myself to ‘shoot for

the stars’ in life. and the photo relates to that philosophy. What

I love about the image is the translucency of the water with the

seaweed and barnacles visible.”
