Results Announcement VI SciencePhoto_IN 2026

From the #SciencePhoto_IN team, we are happy to announce the winners of the 6th IN Science Photo Contest. We would like to thank all the participants for your work, highlighting the high quality of the images and videos that have been sent for this edition. We appreciate your participation in this type of event as it highlights a very important part of your work and also allows us to bring the science generated at the IN closer to the general public. We would also like to thank the members of the jury who helped select the best images this year. 

As last year, the IN 2027 Calendar is under construction with the 12 selected photographs, combining the Jury and Social Networks modalities. A copy will be given to each of the 12 selected authors on December 22nd at the end of the Christmas Meeting!

Please find attached a pdf file with the winners of both categories and the 4 prizes as well as the 12 images selected for the IN 2027 Calendar.

• Jury's Prize: a selection based on the opinion of a committee composed of 10 IN research, management and technical staff.
• Jury's Honorable Mention: the second best image as voted by the Jury members. This year there was a tie for second place, so we decided to split the prize between the two participants who tied for second place based on the jury's votes.
• Social Media's Prize: a selection based on the public impact of the images disseminated through the IN's social networks (considering the sum of the number of interactions on Twitter, Bluesky, Instagram and Facebook). This year, the winner of the Social Media Award was also one of the recipients of the Jury's Honorable Mention!

Congratulations to the winners! 
We look forward to seeing you in the next edition!
