Technician Image Competition

The 2024 University of Edinburgh Technician Image Competition 

The 2024 UoE Technician Image Competition will open soon for entries.

The Technician Steering Committee is holding a competition asking technical staff to submit an image conveying what it is that makes us technicians.  Images might focus on the bigger picture, capturing some of the incredible laboratory and workshop facilities that exist across the University, and how technical staff support them or deliver services through them.  Equally, images could focus on an object, an activity or a person.  Whether you work in support of teaching, research or infrastructure and whatever sort of work you might do on whichever of the University’s campuses we want to see your interpretation of what makes us technicians.

We are a very diverse community from a huge variety of backgrounds and with a vast array of technical skills, knowledge, experience and talent. We want to showcase this.  

A first prize of £150 will be awarded to the best image, with up to two 2nd prizes of £100 and up to three 3rd prizes of £50.  

To enter you will need to upload your image accompanied by a title and explanation of the image. Finalists’ images will be professionally printed and displayed. We will also use winning images in promotional materials, including on the UoE Technician webpages.

The competition will open soon and will close at 17:00 on Friday 28 June 2024. Watch this space for more information.
