Enter the Royal Society Publishing 2023 Photo Competition
This announcement is posted on behalf of Felicity Davie of Royal Society Publishing:
The Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition celebrates the power of photography in capturing scientific phenomena happening all around us and the role great images play in making science accessible to a wide audience. This competition is split into five categories — including astronomy — and is free to enter but open only to scientists. Deadline: 18 August 2023. Shortlisted entrants will be contacted in October.
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 photo above is 2018's astronomy category winner and overall competition winner: "Three Diamonds in the Sky" by Petr Horálek.
