The 2021 Razorback yearbook is turning to its own readers to submit content for this year's edition.

Students can pick their own portrait to be featured in the yearbook by completing this form. Submissions should feature students' upper body and face, a non-distracting background, and no filter.

Yearbook editor Sarah Rawls said collaborating with students themselves will make the Razorback yearbook stand out.

"I believe that if we can make the book personal, people will care," Rawls said. "So, it is more important this year than ever that faculty and students know how to get in contact with us and the new ways they can get in the book."

Registered student organizations are encouraged to establish a good contact with the Razorback in order to be included. The easiest way to ensure appearing in the Razorback yearbook is to provide a schedule of events, or by reaching out to yearbook@uark.edu at least three days prior to an event.

RSOs without in-person events can still reach out to yearbook@uark.edu to be featured in the Razorback yearbook.

The primary goal of the 2021 Razorback is to include as many students and RSOs across campus as possible, even as COVID-19 restrictions prevent the yearbook from conducting business-as-usual.

The yearbook staff hopes this year to produce more content, build stronger relationships across campus, and produce a yearbook to send to competitions.

"The publication needs a book that can set the bar for upcoming years and show everyone that we didn't fall off the map," Rawls said.

With COVID-19 restrictions, many campus events have been canceled or transitioned to virtual events. To create more content, the yearbook team may ask students to submit their own photos of how they spend their days with COVID-19, from study groups to walking the dog.

The Razorback yearbook is also looking for volunteers to help write, photograph, and design for this year's edition. Any interested students can email Sarah Rawls at sgrawls@uark.edu.
