Capture Your Research! Image Competition

Posted on October 29, 2019November 4, 2019 by Carol Johnk

NEXUS, the College of Engineering, Hancher, and the Lichtenberger Engineering Library have joined together to sponsor the inaugural
“Capture your Research! Image Competition!“

 

 

 

Engineering students, faculty, and staff are invited to submit one image which captures the essence of their research. Entries will be judged on originality/creativity, aesthetics – appeal of the image, relationship between the image and the research, and clarity of the written description. 

The inspiration for Capture your Research! Image Competition came from a similar project at the University of Alberta.  You can see example of images submitted to the University of Alberta competition here. 

Our competition will have prize categories for undergraduate, graduate, faculty/staff (including the research labs/centers), and people’s choice.

There will be 4 prize categories from which winners will be selected. There will be a 1st and 2nd place awarded in each category. 

  • Undergraduate Student
  • Graduate Student
  • Faculty/Staff/Researchers
  • Peoples Choice

1st Place in each category will receive a Powerbeats Pro (wireless earbuds).
2nd Place in each category will receive an Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug. 

 

Submission form can be found here. The deadline to submit your photo is Friday, Feb. 28, 2020 at 5:00 pm (central time).

  • High Resolution Image with a 2:3 aspect ratio suitable for printing as a 20″ x 30″ poster
  • Best: 6000 pixels x 9000 pixels
  • Minimum: 2500 pixels x 3750 pixels
