The Universitat Jaume I has commemorated the International Day of Light with various activities organised by the Department of Physics and the Institute of New Imaging Technologies (INIT) of the UJI.

The day opened with the lecture "Light in art" by Wenceslao Rambla, professor of Aesthetics and Theory of the Arts at the UJI, in which he showed how art uses results and practical applications of science and how scientific thought can intervene in the work of the artist.

The lecture was followed by a series of experimental optical demonstrations to show the audience the nature and properties of light.

**DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION AWARDS**

Finally, the prizes for the digital photography contest of the "International Day of Light 2022" were awarded in two categories: secondary schools and students of the UJI and SAUJI.

In the secondary school category, the first prize was awarded to Helena Escribano Peralta, from the Colegio de Fomento Torrenova in Betxí, for the photograph "El silencio", and three runners-up prizes to Marta Zarzoso Granel, for "El fin del mundo"; Aroha Paula, for "Pequeños momentos memorables de la infancia", and Maria Vicenta Martínez Sanz, for "Alternativas al insomnio", also from the same school.

The most awarded secondary school, the Colegio de Fomento Torrenova in Betxí, which participated with 13 photographs and won all four prizes, also received recognition.

On the other hand, in the category of UJI and SAUJI students, the winning photograph was "Blanco descompuesto" by Elisabet Trilles Tarín. In addition, the jury also awarded three runners-up prizes to Jaime Sánchez-Rubio Ruiz, for "Microscopio de agua"; Antoni Albalat Salanova, for "Fotografia d'un minut de silenci", and Paco García Paterna, for "Buscando a Chagall".

The International Day of Light is celebrated as the anniversary of the first laser emission achieved by the engineer-physicist Theodore H. Maiman in 1960. The Unesco General Conference established the International Day of Light to celebrate the important role that light plays in the lives of the world's citizens.
