The Doctoral School is pleased to announce its annual “Research Images as Art / Art Images as Research” Competition 2022, open to all current [1] UCL graduate students and academic staff, either science or arts based. Entrants are invited to submit images associated with their research which have aesthetic appeal.
The competition has been organised since year 2001(!) and it has always been very popular. For over 20 years the organisers have received hundreds of beautiful and striking images. Many of them appeared on UCL’s website, in UCL publications and even decorated some spaces around campus. The Doctoral School hope they will receive some equally great and interesting images this year again.
A panel of judges will review all entries and shortlist the best 100 which will feature in the online gallery after the competition closes. And in the next stage the judges will select the winning images from those shortlisted. The winners will be announced in July.
PRIZES
First Prize – £400
Six Runners-up Prizes – £200 each

[1] Please note that only currently enrolled students are eligible to enter the competition.
The winning images are selected by the panel on the basis of their aesthetic appeal, the nature of their subject matter and technical quality. The panel is particularly interested in images that affect a transformation in the eye of the viewer in translating or communicating the subject that they portray, which have the potential to alter the way that we view the world.
