If you are registered for the EGU26 General Assembly (3 – 8 May), 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 sixteenth annual EGU photo competition opened for submissions!!
Until 8 April, 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 2027!
