TURKISH PHYSICAL SOCIETY 2ND PHYSICS NATURAL PHENOMENON PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST SPECIFICATIONS
Contest Topic: "Capturing a Physics Natural Phenomenon"
This contest aims to emphasize the connection between nature and science through the exploration and visual sharing of natural phenomena. To understand the universe, one must understand its language. The events occurring in our environment, on our planet, and throughout the entire galaxy are all part of a system. Throughout history, humans have felt the need to define, understand, and interpret these systems with curiosity and interest. Nature has indeed revealed its secrets to those who know how to look, and it will continue to do so.
