If you’ve captured something amazing, beautiful, fascinating, amusing or all of these things, we would like to see it. Make no assumptions about the photograph or video we are seeking, because the winning entries could be of a: microscopic feature, laboratory, project team, computer simulation, lecture hall, engineers out in the field etc.

The winning photographs will feature on the Department and University websites, blog, electronic screens, posters, social media and more. And who knows, maybe this years winner’s will receive some press coverage for their photos and videos?
