Past Competitions

Since its inception in the 2015-2016 academic year, the Images of Research Competition + Exhibition has provided online avenues for winning submissions to be displayed online through the U of A Library's website, with the winners and semifinalists to be displayed in U of A's Education + Research Archive (ERA).

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the competition and exhibition was forced to pivot to an online-only presence, which enabled the organizers the opportunity to showcase semifinalist and winning images.

In 2023 and moving forward, the competition expanded their virtual gallery to display all eligible Images of Research Competition + Exhibition submissions. 2024 introduced the integration of AI technology into submission creations, as described in the written requirements by the competitors.
