Call for submissions – PMP 2024

Welcome back to Photography in Medical Physics for our 2024 competition. This year the special category will be for the theme of the joint Engineering and Physical Sciences in Medicine (EPSM) and Australian Biomedical Engineering Conference (ABEC) 2024 “Shaping the Future”.

We will also have a general category and an AI category.

Basics

  • Participants submit photographs in digital format, always retaining the copyrights to their work and with the permission for us to use the images within outlined rules
  • Submission is open to any practicing or aspiring member of an ACPSEM affiliated profession, and their colleagues.
  • The images are assessed by a panel of judges based on their visual impact, storytelling aspects, and technical quality.
  • The images are presented to the public and all are invited for a public vote.
  • Prizes are awarded during EPSM and ABEC 2024 in at the Grant Hyatt, Melbourne

Categories

STF – category for images along the theme of this year’s EPSM “Shaping the Future”

G – general category for all other images that display the beauty of technical and social aspects of Medical Physics

AI – special category for AI created images on the subject of Medical Physics

Image display and use

Selected images may be displayed at EPSM, published on the ACPSEM/BHTF websites, their newsletters, on the our website, journal, related social media and in other publications. Participants agree for their images to be used as part of the submission. We will do our best to always provide image credit. We will potentially use selected images for promotional items. If you wish to not have your image included with those, please advise so with an email at the time of image submission.

Terms and Conditions

Deadline for image submission is 1 Oct 2024

Image submission is digital via this upload site. Each person may submit up to five entries in total.

Image type: JPEG

Image size: as large as possible

The submitted image file name should contain the name of the artist, the category and the name of the image separated by spaces or underscores, e.g.: “AnselAdams_G_MyIonChamber.jpg” 

Submission is open to any practicing or aspiring member of an ACPSEM affiliated profession and their colleagues.

Copyright for all submitted images remains with you, the artist. By submitting an image you grant the organizers a non-exclusive license to publicly show your image(s) printed or in electronic form as described above.

By submitting an image you affirm that any people shown in the image have agreed to be there and are ok with the image being shown publicly and possibly being printed/sold. You further affirm that your image does not violate any copyright laws.

Equipment can and likely will be visible in many images. We ask that all vendor identifiable equipment is treated with respect (we love our vendors!). We also ask that the display of vendor names and logos in the images is kept to a minimum.

The organisers reserve the right to exclude any submissions that are unsuitable.

There is no time limit on when the art work or image has been created, however, images may not have been previously submitted to the Photography in Medical Physics competition.

The competition is organized by Joerg Lehmann and Alannah Kejda as a social activity of the NSW/ACT branch of the ACPSEM. Its goal is to celebrate our exciting profession and to show off visually stimulating aspects of the work of a Medical Physicist. PMP 2024 is kindly supported by sponsorship from DTect.

We look forward to your submissions!
Joerg and Alannah
