Research Image Competition 2026 - The Winning Images

This year, the LIDo Research Image Competition 2026 saw two joint winners, students Shayam Suseelan and Lily Winkler. Congratulations to both on their outstanding entries!

The People's Choice Award was won by Patricia Pinto, whose image received the most votes from the LIDo community.

Thank you to everyone who submitted an image this year. The standard of entries was exceptionally high, making it a very difficult competition to judge. The winners were announced during this year's LIDo Annual Retreat.

Congratulations again to all our winners, and thank you for helping to showcase the exciting and diverse research taking place across LIDo.
