B-PHOT Student Chapter organises Photo Contest

22-03-2023

It is that time of the year again and B-PHOT Student Chapter is back with another Photo Contest . If you have an eye for aesthetics, we challenge you to capture the beauty of light and its display in our daily lives, technology, and/or in our cultural and social celebrations.

Light is responsible for all life, for producing the air that we breathe, the cycles of our oceans, and many more phenomena around us. As people involved in understanding the light properties and its features, we are probably the best witnesses of its widespread manifestation in natural phenomena and its display in our cultural and social celebrations.

For that, we invite you to share with us your captions of light spotted in different settings in your daily lives for our event Photo Contest 2023. Take out your cameras and be the spectator of the magic light can offer! The competition is open to student chapter members and B-PHOT staff, amateurs, and professionals alike. You can submit photos taken with a camera or your smartphone (high-resolution photos are preferred). Your work will be evaluated by an international board composed of fellow B-PHOT Chapter members.

Turn everybody’s attention to your light stories with your photographs!

The theme of the photo contest is A World of Light. For example:

  • light phenomena with an artistic approach,
  • light technology such as lasers, LEDs, etc,
  • light in cultural, social, and national celebrations,
  • light observed in natural phenomena,
