YCN Photo Contests

From 2017 to 2026, YCN launched 8 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" platform on Social Media (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 2026 Photo contest is ongoing: submit your picture for 20th May at the latest!
