Our science image competition
Enter Reflections of Research 2012
We are now accepting entries to the
2012 Reflections of Research competition. The competition
closes on Wednesday 13 June.
About the competition
2009-10 Reflections of Research image winner.
Launched in 2005, Reflections of Research is an
annual opportunity for BHF-funded scientists to show off their
creative side by sending us their most striking and beautiful
images and videos taken as part of research we fund.
As well as being named Reflections of Research 2012
winners, all winning and shortlisted images could be
featured on our website and in BHF publications in the future.
Winners have also been featured in national press, on the BBC and
in exhibitions around the country.
Entries are judged by a panel of experts on their artistic
merit. Last year judges included artist Brendan Neiland and former
Editor of New Scientist magazine Roger Highfield. We also ask our
supporters and staff to get involved by selecting their favourite
entries.
Categories and prizes
There are two categories: still image and
video. The most popular image and video will each
win the top overall prize in their category, with runners-up awards
also given in each category.
If your entry is related to regenerative medicine it will be put
forward for the special Mending Broken Hearts
Award, in honour of our
Appeal. The most popular image or video will win a special
trophy.
We also award special prizes for the most popular entry with
our supporters, and our BHF staff
favourite.
How to apply
To apply, email your entry to
us attaching a completed entry
form. If your image or video is larger than 10MB please send by
post. Read the entry form for full details.
Entries will be accepted up to 5pm on Wednesday 13
June. If you have any queries about the rules or how to
apply, email us.
