Picturing Research: A DRMC Competition
The Picturing Research competition is a chance for research staff and postgraduate (PGT and PGR) researchers to submit a pictorial representation of their research.
Picturing Research is a DRMC online competition showcasing research conducted by researchers at Durham University. It is an opportunity to extend the reach of research to wider publics and different means of communication.
The competition aims to highlight the contributions and impact of Durham researchers to society, locally and globally.
Inspired by the focus of the Durham Research Methods Centre (DRMC) on “designing novel methods to tackle complex, real-world challenges’, the competition focuses on:
- Interdisciplinarity
- Innovative research
- Engaging community
The idea is very straightforward: capture/represent your research in one image/photo with the support of a 100-word description.
Submissions are judged on the following criteria:
- Pictorial effect: the picture is striking, stands out and entices the viewer to want to know more about the message it aims to convey
- Creativity: The research is represented in a unique and original way
- Communication: the combination of the picture and caption conveys research ideas in an accessible way
