Logo design competition for the International Year of Crystallography – 2013
PRIZE: Apple iPad
In 1912 Max Laue [Max von Laue from 1913 on the ennobling of his father] showed that X-rays were diffracted by crystals, and in 1913 W. H. and W. L. Bragg demostrated that the diffraction of X-rays can be used to determine the positions of atoms within a crystal. These groundbreaking experiments mark the birth of modern crystallography. The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) is marking the centennial of these events by declaring 2013 the International Year of Crystallography (IYCr2013).
Entries are invited for the design of a logo for the International Year of Crystallography.
The logo should symbolize and represent the fundamental importance of crystallography to society.
The logo will be used for announcements, letterheads, brochures, publications, web sites and other purposes as may be decided by the IUCr.
DEADLINE: 1 July 2011
