Cover Competition
Each year in November, the editors are inviting submissions to a contest for the best scientific and non-scientific cover images. There are prizes and a lot of fun to be had, and the best contributions have a chance to be featured on The EMBO Journal front cover in subsequent months.
The closing date of the 2010 Cover Contest is 15 January 2010. Send a brief email to covers@embojournal.org if you wish to receive a notification when next year's contest is announced.
