EDFAS Photo Contest
The EDFAS Photo Contest is open to all members of the
failure analysis community and is sponsored by the Mem-
bership Committee of the Electronic Device Failure Analy-
sis Society. Images are judged on failure analysis relevance
(35%), aesthetics (35%), and novelty of the technique or
mechanism (30%). First place in each category receives a
wall plaque and one-year complimentary EDFAS member-
ship; second and third places in each category receive award
certificates and one-year complimentary EDFAS member-
ships; and the top 10 entries in each category will be dis-
played at ISTFA 2014 in Houston.
