Please note that this contest is open only to EARSC members.
We are happy to announce a new opportunity to contribute to the main visual for EXPANDEO 2025! We are calling on all members to participate in our visual identity contest, and we invite you to get creative by submitting a satellite image that will define the look and feel of this year’s event.
What We’re Looking For:
We are looking for a satellite image as the central visual for EXPANDEO 2025. Here are the key requirements for your submissions:
- Colour Palette: Should align with the EXPANDEO branding (see logo above and list below for colors).
- Satellite Image: The image doesn’t need to be true colour and can be processed.
- Geographical Scope: Focus on Europe (EU or ESA member states).
- Content: Should be relatively neutral (nature-focused, avoiding cityscapes if possible).
- Format: PNG.
- File Size: Maximum 10MB.
- Resolution: Minimum 2048 x 1080, Maximum 3840 x 2160.
- If we like your image but need a different colour palette, we may ask for it to be reprocessed.
- Credits and copyright: please ensure that you include all crediting and copyrighting information for the images you process (e.g., Copernicus Sentinel-2 modified data processed by xyz – date). Your image will be protected from unauthorised use during the voting process by already being integrated into the EXPANDEO visual (e.g. with the EXPANDEO logo, dates, partners, etc.) when submitted to members.
What’s in for you:
- Your logo will be included as a partner on the final visual (e.g., “Visual ID provided/supported by [your company]”).
- Your contribution will be promoted on EARSC channels (social media and website) before, during, and after the event.
- You’ll receive full credit for your contribution as part of the official EXPANDEO branding.
