The Mississippi State University Student Association’s outdoor and film committee hosts the SA “Eno Week” contest from Oct. 12 through Oct. 19. SA Eno Week is an Instagram contest that allows students to submit pictures of them Enoing ,and the top pictures are then voted on by their peers to determine a winner.
 Chandler Pride, sophomore biomedical engineering major and co-director of the SA outdoor and film committee, said he would Eno anywhere in the world.
“I would somehow go over a waterfall going into a natural spring,” Pride said. 
Recent contestants in the Eno Week contest range from casual outings at the Noxubee Refuge right outside of Starkville to Enoing in the courtyard of some of the residence halls on campus.
 Pepper Taylor, sophmore whose major is undeclared and codirector for the outdoor and film committee, said she is also a fan of Enoing and encourages students to participate.
“For a contestant to enter, they should upload their picture to Instagram and tag @reedsms and @msu_sa as well as use #SAenoweek,” said Taylor. “If I could ENO anywhere in the world, it would be between two trees over a waterfall in Hawaii.”
 Reed’s of Starkville, a local store, has been a sponsor of SA Eno week over the last couple of years. This year’s prizes from Reeds include a hanging Eno chair for first place, a pair of Chaco sandals for second place and a Camelbak backpack for third place. 
 “Prizes can be substituted for one prize of equal or lesser value,” Pride said.
Maura Trochessett is a senior kinesiology major minoring in business administration from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Trochessett currently serves as the Chief Communications Officer for the Student Association. “There are not any specific contests that we do that are similar,” Trochessett said. “But students can potentially enter next semester if they do not meet the deadline.”
 The #SAenoweek hashtag on Instagram yields over 200 results, and that number is increasing with more and more participation from the contest participants. Last year’s first place winner was sophomore broadcast meteorology major from New Orleans, Lousiana, Brooke Laizer. Brooke’s winning photo as well as others can be found by searching the hashtag “#SAenoweek” on Instagram.
Students are encouraged to be as creative as possible.  
“If I could Eno anywhere in the world, it would have to be at Disney World,” said Trochessett. “I would Eno in the perfect spot that allows me to look straight at the Magic Kingdom Cinderella Castle.”
