Thank you to everyone that entered this year's cover competition: we received hundreds of fantastic entries. Each of the ten winners will have their image featured on the cover of an issue of Materials Today in 2014, and will also write for the journal, as part of our Uncovered feature.
The two runner up will have their images featured here on the website, and will write about their images for the Comment section.
Please take some time to take a look at the images below.
