Thank you to everyone that entered this year's cover competition: once again, we received many fantastic entries. Each of the ten winners will have their image featured on the cover of an issue of the Materials Today journal in 2016, and will also write for the journal, as part of our Uncovered feature.

We will remind you when each uncovered article is published, so keep up to date by signing up to receive the issue alert here.

To celebrate this year's cover competition, Materials Today has partnered with ZEISS - the world's only manufacturer of light, X-ray and electron microscopes - to provide Materials Today members with access to specially selected articles and whitepapers.
