This year the Photography in Medical Physics competition will again be held with EPSM. As always, the goal of the competition is to visualise and celebrate our exciting professions as scientists, engineers, researchers, and innovators. We invite you to submit your photography along the conference theme “Adapting to change” or in a general category.
After some fun with an AI category in the last three years, we will go back to traditional photography and not have a category with AI created images this time. As before it is ok to edit images (including with AI supported editing tools) as long as the main impact of the image comes from the original photograph.
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 Engineers Australia, the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine 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 in Brisbane, Australia.
Selected images may be displayed at EPSM, published on the websites and in publications as well as social media of the participating organisations, on this website and in related publication. 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 and items for sale or auction. If you wish to not have your image included with those, please advise so with an email at the time of image submission.
