CELEBRATING THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHING SCIENCE: INTERNATIONAL IMAGES FOR SCIENCE 2016 COMPETITION OPEN
Entries are now being accepted for the International Images for Science competition 2016.

“We want as many people as possible to enter this competition - school or college students, scientists, photojournalists, artists - everyone!” says RPS coordinator, Gary Evans, “Entrants can have fancy equipment or use a smartphone, it doesn’t matter. The important point is to capture your view of science in a way that tells a story to the average person.”

• Gold Award (Age 26 and Over): £1000 and an RPS Gold Medal
