Winners of the SoR's prestigious World Radiography Day poster contest have been announced, ahead of celebration of the day on 8 November 2024.
This date marks the anniversary of the discovery of X-radiation by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895.
Radiography professionals worldwide celebrate World Radiography Day (WRD) by promoting radiography as a career and as a “vital contribution to modern healthcare”.
Seeing the unseen
WRD also serves as an opportunity to raise public awareness of diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy.
The theme of 2024’s WRD is “Radiographers: Seeing the Unseen”, and the Society called upon members to design a poster concept representing this.
Each year, SoR members are called upon to design a poster for inclusion in the WRD pack of materials, which will be distributed to SoR members across the country.
Poster winners
The winning posters are:
By Joel Jasper Morales
By Lucy Clough
By Kishar Griffith
By Adriana Serrano
By Faye Merley
WRD packs also feature the designs of runners-up, who had their artwork transformed into colouring-in pictures.
The Society is encouraging members to “download and get colouring!”
WRD pack updates
This year, members will receive a WRD pack directly, as part of mailing for the SoR's Insight journal. This has been changed from previous years, when members ordered packs, following two motions carried at the Annual Delegates Conference. WRD packs should be landing alongside copies of the autumn 2024 edition of Insight this month.
Motion 5 sought to review the use of promotional material and distribution methods, to provide a balance between value for money, promoting the profession, while also being environmentally friendly.
Motion 8 called for better ways to share WRD packs, to help give all members the opportunity to participate in celebrations.
