The campus community is invited to participate in a “selfie” contest at Rolla downtown businesses. The contest is part of the sixth annual Celebration of Nations. Contestants should visit participating area businesses, take a selfie in front of a flag display and post the photo to the Celebration of Nations Facebook page with the tag #CofN15. The most fun and creative photo from each business location will be chosen by a panel of judges, and the submitter will be awarded a $25 gift certificate or a prize of equal value by the business. The contest begins Monday, Sept. 14, and ends Friday, Sept. 25.
