Young Ceramics Networks

YCN Photo Contests

From 2017 to 2024, YCN launched 6 Photo Contests.

All young ceramic researchers were invited to submit a microphotograph for the YCN photo contest and the winner picture selected by the jury was used to illustrate the "YCN-Ceramic Social Club" platforms on Social Medias (Facebook and LinkedIn). 

Entering this competition is an opportunity to exhibit your skills in ceramic and/or microscopy !

Some rules of eligibility...

  • Only one submission per person is allowed.
  • The submission must include: a microphotograph of ceramics with a visible scale, a title (poetic titles are welcome) and a detailed caption of subject matter.
  • The photo cannot be edited - only the colors can be modified.

The 2024 Photo contest is ongoing: submit your picture for 31st March at the latest!

Here are the results of the 2017, 20192020, 2022 and 2023 YCN Photo Contests.
