Each day, scientific discovery creates new knowledge and develops the world around us, and at the DNRF, we want to spread the stories of your scientific progress and discoveries. We can do this, among other ways, with photos that arouse an immediate fascination and curiosity.

To this end, the foundation is launching the annual DNRF Photo Competition for the sixth year in a row. Photos will be judged based on their potential as documentation and communication of scientific research.

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.
