Do you enjoy converting complex research findings into simple, intuitive figures? Do you enjoy drawing cartoons about your science?
If so, then this is the competition for you!
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words and good graphics are a vital component of disseminating research. During the APECS International Polar Week Fall 2016, we will organise a figure competition, where everyone will be able to vote for the most eye-catching, informative and inspiring figures. We are looking for figures in the broadest sense of the word (infographics, cartoons, figures for journals etc.) which capture either the overall theme of your research or a particular finding in pictorial format.
If you want to participate by sending a figure, send it to the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will upload it for you on our website. Entry in limited to one figure per person.
What to submit for each picture?
- Name, affiliation and email address
- Caption (if needed). If the figure is already published please send the source link.
- Permission for APECS to use the picture on its website.
The deadline for submitting a picture will be the 18th September. You have to be an APECS member to participate. The vote will then take place during the polar week and the photo getting the most votes will be the winner!
And of course you can win something! 1st Prize (100 Euros); 2nd Prize (50 Euros) and 3rd Prize (25 Euros) towards the travel costs to a polar or cryosphere related conference or meeting of your choice.
You can find the photo submissions here.
We are looking forward admiring your figures.
