Photo Contest

Top photos and photo captions will be displayed on the ECMSS website as well as on a poster at the symposium. The winning photo will also be featured on the cover of the ECMSS Abstract Book.

Evaluation Criteria:

Caption: Does the caption adequately introduce the picture? How well does the photographer relate the relevancy of their photo to the environment?

Composition and Complexity: Are photographic elements of interest emphasized or accentuated by the composition? Does the photo convey a scene’s complexity or distill a complex scene into its base fundamentals?

Creativity: Was the subject matter selected pictured in a unique way or was something common shown from a nontraditional point-of-view? Does the photo demonstrate originality?

Technical Quality: Is the photo in focus? Is the lighting acceptable?

Aesthetic Quality: Is the subject material or the landscape pictured especially breathtaking? Any other general comments or concerns not addressed above?

Last year’s winners can be found here and previous winners can be found here.
