Description:

Science in Society is now accepting applications for the 2016 Scientific Images Contest.

Rules, terms, and submission information can be found in the contest's Call for Entries.

This contest and its subsequent exhibitions connect the public with real, contemporary Northwestern research through high-quality visuals. Sharing your image is an opportunity to share advances in scientific research and their impact on society.

Winning images will be professionally printed and displayed in museums, libraries, and galleries across Chicago and Evanston. Previous exhibition sites include the Museum of Science and Industry, Evanston Public Library, the Chicago Arts District and Navy Pier.

Winning researchers have the opportunity to share their work through short talks and workshops connected to the exhibition at various venues. Science communication training and support will be provided by Science in Society, a Northwestern research center dedicated to public engagement and science education.

The top five images will also be awarded cash prizes. To find out more about this program, check out our recent news piece and galleries of the previous winners!
