Best Nest Competition
Is your room the best at SJU?
We invite our fellow Hawks to show off their room for a chance to earn the title of the “Best Nest” on campus and a chance to win prizes. Submit photos or a brief video to best represent your room or apartment to win the Grand Prize - a Nespresso Vertuo Coffee Maker and Milk Frother.
Please review the following rules and eligibility:
- Entries will be accepted between November 1st through November 30th.
- Entries may consist of a video up to one minute in length OR up to five pictures of your room/apartment. Be sure to represent the entire space if you are in an apartment style community.
- Winning rooms will be selected by representatives of University Faculty, Staff, and Students based categories: cleanliness, creativity, best use of space, and individuality.
- It is not expected that residents invest money into improving their rooms for the purposes of this contest. Entries will not be judged on how expensive rooms appear to be, but on the interesting and creative ways that residents have decided to work with limited means and spaces.
- All roommates must agree to enter the contest.
- Entries that display a violation of the Student Handbook or Residence Life Policies will be disqualified.
- In submitting these photographs, residents give permission for any images taken during this process to be used indefinitely on SJU’s website for the purposes of providing visual examples of residential rooms/apartments. Participants must understand that online images will be viewed by anyone visiting the University’s website.
