Images of Research Competition 2013: The Big Picture
Published on 20 August 13
Capture your work in an image and share it with the world - entries invited by 23 September 2013 (12 noon).
The challenge
Can you creatively communicate your research to the general public with just one photographic image, a snappy title and an accompanying short description? Can you capture their interest, raise their curiosity, or get them thinking about research in a different way?
We invite the research community at The University of Manchester to take part in the Images of Research Photography Competition 2013.
Whether you work in the physical, medical, biological, or social sciences, or the humanities, we want you to share your work with the wider world.
The prizes
- Public vote: £200 Amazon voucher
- Judges' votes: First prize: £150 Amazon voucher; Runners up: £100 Amazon vouchers; Highly commended: £50 Amazon voucher
Your entries
The photographic image can be anything that captures attention but must be related to your research. Be creative and interpret the call broadly. What are the outputs of your research and where are its effects felt? Can your image feature an individual, situation or event, perhaps a gadget? Entries should aim to raise the general public’s curiosity about the research issue that you are illustrating.
In addition to the original photographic image, each submission must include an interesting title and a 150-word abstract describing how and why your research matters to others.
Submissions close on 23 September 2013 at 12 noon (BST), so get snapping: we look forward to seeing the wonder of your research.
