Campus Wild

Who Can Participate

Everyone is welcome to participate: students, faculty, staff and community members. No prior experience in art or science is required — only curiosity, attention, and willingness to experiment.

A $100 prize will be awarded to one OSU student in each category. Winning works will be selected by a small review panel based on creativity, engagement with the campus ecosystem, and the depth of observation reflected in the work.

In Memory of Camryn Morris A donation was made to OSU to support Campus Wild in memory of Camryn Morris who tragically died of sudden cardiac arrest after completing the 2025 Corvallis half-marathon. In Camryn’s two years at OSU, she loved to take pictures of the animals and flowers that she would see while walking across campus or through the nearby parks and forests. When she had extra time, she also liked to take her watercolors with her so she could paint a sunset or meadow on the edge of campus. Her family and friends know that if she were still with us today, she would be making multiple entries to Campus Wild and encouraging her friends to do the same.
