The Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition highlights the power of photography in capturing the scientific phenomena around us, and the role great images play in making science accessible to a wide audience. This year's competition will be held in collaboration with the Royal Photographic Society. This competition is split into five categories — including astronomy — and is free to enter but open only to scientists. Deadline: 23 August 2024.
The competition (#RSPPhotoComp) is free to enter. The overall winner receives a prize of £1,000 (or currency equivalent). Winners of the categories not chosen as the overall winner will receive a prize of £500 (or currency equivalent) each.

The result was the Veil Nebula, a magnificent supernova remnant found in the Cygnus constellation. Courtesy Royal Society Publishing.
