September Photo Caption Contest

By IU Indianapolis Today

September 02, 2025

September on the IU Indianapolis campus brings to mind canoes, canals and crackers of graham! That’s because it’s the month of Regatta, the campus’s annual homecoming celebration.

The caption contest photo from 2017 captures a moment from a sweet Regatta tradition: s’mores and oars. Caption the scene for a chance to win a prize from the fabulous judges at Special Collections and Archives.

Congratulations to Sharon Mermelstein for winning the August contest with the caption, “Think it’s too dark in here for a selfie?”
