Dear All, Enter the British Geophysical Association image competition and help promote UK geophysics. The top prize is £200 and a 1-year membership of one of the BGA parent societies, the Royal Astronomical Society or the Geological Society of London. Runner-up prize is a 1-year membership of one of the parent societies. Geophysics is the application of physics to study the Earth, oceans, atmosphere and near-Earth space. It is a broad subject that straddles many of the major sciences – physics, planetary science, geology, environmental science, oceanography, and meteorology. A diverse range of scientists call themselves geophysicists, including seismologists, meteorologists, glaciologists, geomagnetists and geodesists. We are looking for dramatic geophysical fieldwork photos, spectacular images of numerical simulations, stimulating photos of laboratory experiments in progress, or even geophysical data overlays or drapes on topography or other surfaces, for example. In fact, anything with a geophysical context, but the link to geophysics must be obvious within the image itself. Generic landscape photos are ineligible. Images must be in JPEG or JPG format. Only e-mail entries will be eligible. Entrants must be associated with a UK institution and consent to the BGA using their image for promotional purposes, free of charge. Please submit images by e-mail to me, the Competitions Officer<mailto:[log in to unmask]> at [log in to unmask], clearly indicating “BGA image competition” in the subject line and including in the body of the email a brief description of the image and its geophysical relevance. Entrants should be based at a UK-institution or live in the UK. CLOSING DATE: The competition closes at midnight on the 31 August, and judging takes place at the BGA Postgraduate Research in Progress Meeting in early September (http://www.bga2016.co.uk). Winning images will be posted on BGA web site and displayed in BGA publicity material. Need inspiration?
