ASGSR 2020 Art Competition
The ASGSR Art Competition gives scientists the chance to showcase their creative side and their research! Each year we receive submissions of all kinds, and this year there will be two new categories of winning entries: Journal Cover and Audience Choice.
Journal Cover: Winner will be selected by the GSR Editorial Board and will have their art placed on the cover of the ASGSR’s Open-Access journal Gravitational and Space Research for 2021.
Audience Choice: Winners will be voted on by ASGSR conference attendees. And like every year, there will be a winner in the subcategory of Artistic Merit ($250 award) and one for Technical Merit ($250 award).
We plan to announce the winners at the closing remarks portion of the 2020 virtual meeting.
Thank you to all those who submitted their artwork for the ASGSR 2020 Art Competition!
