About the cover

Volume 28 Number 21 04 November 2009

The EMBO Journal Cover Contest 2010 - We are very excited to announce our annual competition for the best (scientific or non-scientific) cover images in 2010. The front cover of this issue shows an assembly of many of the the beautiful images that have been featured on the EMBO Journal since 2007; most of these had been submitted to our previous competitions by scientists from all over the world. Please visit covercontest.embo.org for details of how you can participate in this year’s contest and submit your entries online. Also be sure to have a look at the gallery in our online archive for an impression of what type of images might be good candidates for an EMBO Journal cover. The jury and the editors are looking forward to seeing your contributions.
