DBMR Homepage Image Competition

DBMR Homepage Image Competition 2026

Purpose

We are launching this competition to give members of the DBMR a chance to contribute to the department’s visual identity. The selected image will replace the current homepage image and help represent the DBMR community in a fresh way.

How it works

  • All DBMR members are invited to submit one image that — in your view — captures the spirit or research of our department.
  • After the submission period, all DBMR members will be invited to vote on their favourite entries. The image with the most votes will become the new homepage image.
  • There is no prize money — the “reward” is seeing your image on the DBMR homepage.
