Contest brief
The European Polar Board (EPB) is organising a SO-CHIC contest: Create a visualisation / illustration that describes the SO-CHIC project.
Open for submissions: 04 September – 31 October 2022
About SO-CHIC (Southern Ocean Carbon and Heat Impact on Climate): SO-CHIC is an EU-funded project which began in November 2019. To contribute to reducing uncertainties in climate change predictions, the overall objective of SO-CHIC is to understand and quantify variability of heat and carbon budgets in the Southern Ocean through an investigation of the key processes controlling exchanges between the atmosphere, ocean and sea ice using a combination of observational and modelling approaches. More information about SO-CHIC: http://www.sochic-h2020.eu/
The goal of the contest is to get a visualisation / illustration that could be further used for communication purposes. As it is important for SO-CHIC to explain its activities to general public, the aim of the contest is also to find an illustrator willing to further develop illustrations (on a paid basis) about SO-CHIC activities as described in the “work packages” on the website http://www.sochic-h2020.eu/activities/.
Winner: We will announce one winner and 3 runner-ups. The winner of the competition will have their work used and credited throughout the project, and be offered the opportunity to develop further such visualisations for SO-CHIC (on a paid basis).
