EGU Photo Competition 2023: Now open for submissions!

If you are registered for the EGU23 General Assembly (2328 April), you can take part in our annual photo competition. Winners receive free registration to next year’s General Assembly!

It’s that time of year again! Yes, today, the 13 January, the thirteenth annual EGU photo competition opened for submissions!!

Until 31 March, every participant registered for the General Assembly can submit up to three original photos and one moving image on any broad theme related to the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. Photos submitted can be recent or from previous years so if there’s a beautiful photo that you’ve been holding onto, this could be your year to enter it! A panel of judges will shortlist the best 10 photos and one moving image to be exhibited in an online gallery during the conference. General Assembly participants will then vote for their favourite photos and the three winning images will be announced online on the last day of the meeting.

Winners will receive a free registration to EGU’s General Assembly in 2024!

You retain full rights of use for any photos or videos submitted to the database as they are licensed and distributed by EGU under a Creative Commons license.You will need to register on Imaggeo so that the organisers can appropriately process your photos.
