Rules

For participants from Kazakhstan European Science Photo Competition 2015 will be held until January 10, 2016. Only the images that are uploaded during this time will count.

• Image categories:
  • People in Science
  • Microscopy images
  • Non-photographic media
  • Image sets
  • General category

Upload your photos here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:espc-kz

• For the photo to be considered scientific, it needs to have a good concrete description. Every photo must have a description at least in English. Give information about what is on the image, how and where it was made, what is important to notice. Example.

• Everyone except jury members are allowed to add images. Number of images per participant is not limited.

• Uploader must be the author of the photo. You can only participate with your own images or with images of which you are one of the authors. In the latter case, all the co-authors' names have to be provided.

• Images have to be published under free use license. Licenses offered in upload page are CC-BY-SA 4.0, CC-BY 4.0 and CC0 1.0.

• As this is a photo competition, we expect the images to be of good quality and size. Minimum size per image file is at least 2 Mpx, if possible by imaging technology used. The bigger, the better. If images are too small, then one solution could be to present them as a compilation in one file (example).

Competition is not limited to only "classical photos" as images in science can come at many shapes and forms. We do accept even computer generated images and we are fully aware that drawing specific boundaries to various categories is nearly impossible. It will be possible to add thematically linked images as sets: images added as one set would compete as one image for any prize, including Grand Prix. Set starts from 2 linked images and may include up to 10 images.

Preferred file formats are .jpg for images, .ogg for video files and .png for computer generated files.
