School of Materials Photography Competition 2011
Overview
We challenge you to produce an attention grabbing image which gives a new insight into Materials.
Enter the School of Materials Photography Competition 2011 by submitting an image which communicates something exciting, important or relevant about your experience of Materials.
Winning images will be equally effective at communicating with other researchers and with audiences who have little or no understanding of Materials.
The winning images will be awarded a prize and exhibited around the School campus. All images may be used by the School on the web or on other promotional materials.
All undergraduates, postgraduates, and staff within the School are invited to enter.
Images should be submitted by 6th May 2011. The winning images will be announced at the Postgraduate Conference on Thursday 19th May 2011

Image Regulations
You are able to use 'false' colour and design techniques to create dramatic and interesting images. Equally, however, an image which has not been enhanced in anyway can be just as poignant or exciting or dramatic.
Images may be digitally enhanced to remove spots or scratches, but not manipulated. Entrants can enhance the picture to make it brighter, clearer etc, but not manipulate the content and are requested to provide details of when and where the image was taken and the camera or equipment used
You can submit up to three images to the competition.
To ensure consistency and suitable images for the competition, you should submit your image in the following format:
- Minimum resolution: 300dpi
- Acceptable file types: jpg, tif, gif
