RAID Network’s “Your Research in One Photo” Competition 2026
We all know that effectively communicating your research involves much more than just publishing a paper. Photos are a powerful way to communicate scientific results, giving your study context and drawing readers to your work! So let’s take some photos!!
RAID invites you to submit ‘your research in one photo’. This might be a photo taken in the field or representing your research. Get creative! This might be a photo of your research species, community or the aim or outcome of your research.
RAID also invites you to submit a short description of the photo and how it relates to your research (100 words max). Please note: one entry only per person.
Here are the 3 winners of our 2025 competition: RAID Network 2025 “Your Research in One Photo” Competition.
