Photo competition at the EGU 2012 General Assembly

If you are pre-registered for the 2012 General Assembly (Vienna, April 22-27), we invite you to submit photos to our annual photo competition. Winners receive a free registration to next year’s General Assembly!

The third edition of the EGU photo competition is now open. Until 10 March, every pre-registered participant of the General Assembly can submit up to two photos on any broad theme related to the earth, planetary, and space sciences. Short-listed photos will be exhibited at the conference, with the winner voted by General Assembly participants.

If you submit your images to the photo competition, you agree to also submit them to the EGU photo database, Imaggeo. (You will also have to register on the website so that the organisers can  appropriately process your photos.) Being open access, it can be used by scientists for their presentations or publications, as well as by the press. If you submit your images to the database, you retain full rights of use, since they are licensed and distributed by EGU under a Creative Commons license. If a short-listed entry, you also agree for the photo to be exhibited at the General Assembly.
