What does your research look like day-to-day?
Could you capture it in a photograph, cartoon or other creative image?
Our annual Emerging Researcher Image Competition has launched, and offers prizes of up to £200 for images that inform, engage and intrigue a non-specialist audience.
Shortlisted entries will be displayed in an online gallery and exhibited during the Summer of Research events. The resulting exhibition will foster links between career stages, and reflect Sussex’s vibrant, interdisciplinary emerging researcher community.
Available prizes:
- PGR winner: £200 towards your research
- ECR winner: £200 towards your research
- People’s Choice: £100 towards your research
The deadline for entries is 12 noon, Wednesday 13 May. We can’t wait to see what you submit!
See the Emerging Researcher Image Competition webpage for terms and conditions and to apply.
