We are over the moon to welcome Kevin Ancog to the Urology News Imaging Competition 2026 judging panel.

“I’m truly honoured to be joining the Urology News Imaging Competition 2026 as an international judge. I’ve always appreciated the connection between medicine and art, how imaging can capture not only clinical detail, but also beauty, perspective, and storytelling within our profession. As a Urology Nurse Consultant, I’m passionate about advancing urological care and education, and I’m excited to see the creativity, innovation, and dedication reflected in this year’s submissions from colleagues around the world.”
