The CEDAR Science Steering Committee (CSSC) wants to expand the visual aspect
of our community by building an image repository. I am pleased to announce that
to start this process there will be a photo contest at this year's CEDAR meeting!
There will be three categories, and a winner for each category: 1. Instruments
and landmarks related to space physics, 2. People of the CEDAR community, and 3.
CEDAR physics in action, e.g. sprites, lightning, noctilucent clouds, and so on
(we hope to have more diversity than just hundreds of the same ol’ aurora shots).
All photos will be made available, and the winning photos will be prominently
featured (either online or in a location to be determined).</span></p>
