Art of Failure Analysis

The “Art of FA” Photo Contest is a unique event of the IPFA conference. It showcases Failure Analysis results with striking resemblance to real life occurrences. Failure Analysis Engineers could find amusement in their work and also win attractive prizes.

For IPFA 2018, we received a total of 33 entries. 10 entries were shortlisted by the Organizing Committee and will be displayed on a screen in the exhibition hall for all participants to vote (via mobile app) for the top 3 photos.

Those whose photos have been shortlisted must be at the IPFA 2018 Closing Ceremony to receive the prize. The submitter of the top 10 photos will each receive a certificate and the top 3 will receive a certificate and the following cash prize:

1st Prize: S$300
2nd Prize: S$200
3rd Prize: S$100
