The Doctoral School is pleased to announce its annual 鈥淩esearch Images as Art / Art Images as Research鈥� Competition, open to all current(*)听UCL postgraduate research students and academic staff, across disciplines. Entrants are invited to submit images associated with their research which have aesthetic appeal.

The competition has been organised since听2001 and it has always been very popular. For over 20 years the organisers have received hundreds of beautiful and striking images, with many听of them appearing听on UCL鈥檚 website, in UCL publications and even decorating central spaces around campus. The Doctoral School hope to听receive equally great and interesting images again this year.

There will then be a second stage where the听judges will select the winning images from those shortlisted. The winners will be announced at the Researcher Showcase Day on 5听June 2024.

(*) Please note that only currently enrolled students are eligible to enter the competition.
