Research notes

The 37th edition, open 1 September to 1 December 2026, with the jury verdict announced for 1 March 2027 and a new special category devoted to photographing the Universe. The official website's category list may still show the previous edition, so check the 2026 bases before entering. The bases say authors keep the exploitation rights to their images and the organisers ask for a full-size file of awarded images; the scope of the organisers' own use was not confirmed, so rights are omitted. Direct page fetches were blocked in this research session, so pages were read through search-engine extracts.
