It's been a tough year. We're all tired of looking at screens. And in New York, the weather is getting cooler as the daylight hours grow shorter. Seems like the perfect time to indulge in a little friendly competition to bring our community together—while stepping away from Zoom in favor of a healthy dose of COVID-safe indoor self-care. Enter: the NYU Fall 2020 Coloring Contest! The images below were adapted from favorite campus photos taken by the NYU News team—with a couple of scenes from our imagination mixed in. Some are simpler while others are more detailed and intricate, but we hope there's something to suit every taste. Choose your favorite, download, and color. Then email your entry to nyustories[at]nyu[dot]edu for a chance to win an NYU sweatshirt.
