IIAS Photo Contest 2019

Submitting photos
Please send us your photographs by using our online form. You are welcome to start uploading on 1 March 2019. See the rules and regulations below for further details.

The categories
We ask you to send in a maximum of 3 photographs per person and category, for the following two categories:

Your most memorable picture taken during an IIAS event 
The first category for which we would like to receive pictures concerns all IIAS activities from our beginning in 1993 until now. Please send us your most memorable photo(s) taken during a conference or other activity in which IIAS played a role. Besides pictures taken during such events, photographs taken in the framework of activities carried out in the context of a research programme also qualify.

'Asia and Europe. Asia in Europe.'
This is the special focus theme of ICAS 11 - Let your imagination roam free!

You may send in a maximum of three photos per category. It doesn't matter when the photo was taken, but you must have taken the photo(s) yourself, and deliver them digitally (.jpg/.jpeg) in accordance with the instructions and conditions for participation (mentioned below). Please also submit short descriptions of each photo.

Besides rewarding the best three photos in both categories with a prize to the value of 100 euros (in gift certificates), we also intend to include some of the entries in a retrospective exhibition of the various IIAS activities over the years. The exhibition will take place during ICAS 11. In addition, the winning images will be published in The Newsletter crediting you as the photographer. By submitting your photos, you grant IIAS the right to use your photo(s) in IIAS publications and for the photo exhibition during ICAS, mentioning your name as the photographer.

IIAS will judge the entries on the basis of relevance to the category as well as aesthetic and informative value. The winners will be announced during ICAS 11, 16-19 July 2019. We hope that you will be there for the occasion!
