Photo Competition 2024
We will announce the winners at the DNRF’s annual meeting on September 5, 2024. In addition, we will exhibit the three winning pictures plus 10 additional pictures from the competition’s participants.
Each day, scientific discovery creates new knowledge and helps to develop the world around us. At the DNRF, we want to spread the stories of your scientific progress and discoveries. One way we can do this is with photos that arouse an immediate fascination and curiosity.
Therefore, for the seventh year in a row, we invite researchers from all Danish research fields to submit the best of their research images to our competition and thereby contribute to scientific communication aimed at a wider audience.
The winners will be selected by a panel assembled by the DNRF. This panel will also choose an additional ten photos selected for their individual significance.
We encourage people from all fields of research to participate in the competition. Your photo should evoke emotion, curiosity, and wonder. Furthermore, the image should describe a scientific process or show an object related to the research.
