We would like to build on the success of the image competitions in 2021, 2022, and 2023, where the winning images travelled across Germany highlighting the remarkable portfolio of the Helmholtz Association in imaging and the contribution of imaging science in addressing major societal challenges.

Images eligible for the competition can be:

• The outcome of any imaging technique developed or applied at Helmholtz Centers.
• Artistic compositions resulting from the combination of various images.

Accompany your submission with a clear, informative and engaging description, providing context on the scientific significance, uniqueness, and origin of the image.

A distinguished international jury will evaluate entries based on scientific merit, originality, and the artistic or visual impact of the image.

The winning images will be prominently featured at the Helmholtz Imaging Conference 2024 on 14-15 May in Heidelberg, and shared with the public, media, and scientific institutions. Additionally, 12 selected images will be showcased in the Helmholtz Imaging calendar 2025, and the top 20 images will participate in a traveling exhibition displayed in various Helmholtz Centers and beyond.

Aside from the Jury Award your images have two additional opportunities to be recognized:
