In this CNIC PhDay edition, we would like to see your best scientific memes! The specific topic of the meme is up to you, but it has to be somehow related to science. Originality is valued! 

Photos can be up to 5MB, with a size of 1200px wide and 675px tall. Image captions must be included in the image itself. Participants must send the image together with their full name to our email: phday@cnic.es. Deadline is November 15th!

All memes will be shown on November 28th. The final vote will happen in person during the CNIC PhDay on November 28th 2025 and only registered attendees will be able to vote. In case of a tie, the jury from the Organizing Committee will decide the winner. The most voted meme will get 300€ (minus IVA) for courses, conferences, etc., generously sponsored by Jove, which will be handled through CNIC personnel. The second most voted meme will get 200€ (minus IVA) for courses, conferences, etc., generously sponsored by Palex. 
All pictures should be original and participants should have full rights of the photo sent. This means that pictures that have already been presented in contests or exhibitions won’t be allowed. Also, any creation whose content includes violent, sexist, or racist scenes, or that violates the fundamental human rights will be rejected. Participation in the Special Contest 2025 implies authorization to publish the photos in CNIC PhDay communication media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) crediting the copyright owners. Consequently, CNIC does not assume any liability for the breach of any legal requirements that are collected in this legal disclaimer.
