Story telling contest & Photo competition

On Sunday evening a storytelling contest will be held to provide a podium for everyone to share their most fascinating, heart-warming or funny experiences from studying animals. Such stories often do not make it into scientific publications, but they are a big part of what makes zoological research so special! Stories can be about anything, but preferably align somewhat with the topic of the conference and are preferably no longer than 15 minutes. You can register beforehand via the Registration form and send your story to info.zoology2025@gmail.com with as a subject ‘Storytelling contest [your full name]’. The contest will be held in the ARTIS Planetarium which is located at the entrance of the zoo. 

Zoology photo competition

We welcome all researchers to send in pictures of their study species for the second edition of the annual zoology photo competition! Pictures can be sent to info.zoology2025@gmail.com with as a subject ‘Photo competition [your full name]’. The winner will be announced at the end of the conference and the photos will be on public display in the ARTIS-Groote Museum.
