Please help us to select a winner of the NSI Logo Design Competition. If you are eligible to vote, you should have received an email by now. Please vote for your favorite!  

Neuroscience Ireland is excited to announce a competition for new logo design ideas!
€300 prize for the wining entrant!

We are seeking artistic neuroscientists to submit their ideas for an updated or new Neuroscience Ireland logo. Entries do not need to be fully completed logos – we are simply looking for design ideas. The entries will be assessed by the NSI Board, and the winning idea will then be sent to a designer to work into a finalised logo (if necessary).

Entry Procedures:

• Entry is open to current (2017) NSI members only – staff, post-docs or students.
• Entries should be emailed directly to neuroscienceireland@gmail.com. Images will be accepted in any format as long as they are attached to the entry email (even scanned hand-drawn sketches are acceptable).
• The deadline for submission of entries is Friday 28th July 2017.
• The winning entrant will receive a €300 prize and the winning entry will be unveiled at the NSI 2017 conference in Galway!

Notes: By entering this contest the applicant agrees to, if selected, give up sole rights to his or her submission. Furthermore, the applicant agrees to any and all changes to the logo design that NSI deems necessary. NSI also reserves the right not to use any of the submitted logo ideas
