2026 Through Our Eyes Details

Every Longhorn sees the Forty Acres a little differently and we want to see it your way. 

University Unions invites you to join our Through Our Eyes photo contest and share your perspective on campus life.

Theme: FRAME YOUR FORTY.
Maybe it’s game day energy, late-night study sessions, your favorite campus spot, a professor who inspires you or the community you’ve found in a student org. We want to see your UT experience through your lens.

Let’s celebrate the moments that make this place feel like home.
