Every year, we celebrate the end of the Jamboree with one giant, crowded group photo! iGEM From Above represents the growth of our community from just a few people in 2004 to thousands of iGEMers in 2019. This is an important tradition to iGEM. Obviously, this year had to be special - we needed a creative way to reimagine iGEM From Above, and show all of 2020 iGEM Community in one global animation!

Join us in trying something new! We will create a giant animated hexagonal collage from your photos. It will feature: iGEMers, Judges, HQ, Committees, iGEM Alumni, Volunteers, Commentators, Hosts, and everyone who is taking part in this Jamboree.

We need your help in achieving this. To complete your Jamboree experience, please send us your photo by:

Sunday, November 15th 11:59 PM / 23:59 EST (midnight)
