The winners of the 2023 World Radiography Day poster competition have been announced, with some fantastic designs being submitted this year.
To mark World Radiography Day (WRD) on Wednesday, 8 November, the Society of Radiographers put out a call for poster designs that will be sent out to radiography departments across the country.
World Radiography Day, this year sponsored by Elekta, is celebrated on 8 November each year and marks the anniversary of the discovery of x-radiation by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895.
As part of this year’s competition, SoR members or their relatives were asked to design a poster celebrating their profession, all based around the theme of ‘Healthcare Heroes.’
President of the Society of Radiographers, Dave Pilborough, said: "We had an amazing response to this year's poster competition, which made the judging very difficult. Thank you to all who took the time and effort to enter a design. You should all be very proud, and we hope to share more of these designs over the coming year. For the winners, I look forward to putting your artwork in my department. You all responded to the theme of 'Healthcare Heroes' in a wonderfully imaginative way. Well done."
The society received a fantastic response to this year’s competition and five winners have since been chosen, alongside five runners-up.
Winning entries will be included in special WRD packs that will be sent to departments across the UK, while the runners-up have had their submissions turned into colouring posters.
The designers will also receive a framed copy of their poster, a Synergy profile, tickets to the radiography awards, and the cash equivalent of one years’ membership.
