Photo competition at the EGU 2013 General Assembly

If you are pre-registered for the 2013 General Assembly (Vienna, 7—12 April), you can now submit photos and moving images to our annual competition! Winners receive a free registration to next year’s General Assembly.

The fourth annual EGU photo competition is now open! Up until 26 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 and the winner will be voted for by General Assembly participants.

In addition, we will also be running a competition for the best moving image, for which we invite you to submit unedited films/footage no longer than 3 minutes in duration.

If you submit your images to the competition, they will also be included in the EGU’s open access photo database, Imaggeo. You retain full rights of use since photos submitted to the database are licensed and distributed by the EGU under a Creative Commons license. This means that Imaggeo content can be used by scientists for their presentations or publications, by the press for news articles, and others or education, blogs — you name it! — as long as they are attributed to the photographer.

You will need to register on Imaggeo so that the organisers can appropriately process your photos. For more information, please check the photo competition page on Imaggeo. Previous winning photographs can be seen on the 20102011 and 2012 winners’ pages.

In the meantime — get shooting!
