Calling all photographers, amateur and professional! The third edition of the Queen鈥檚 Art of Research photo contest is officially open.

The contest鈥檚 goal is to creatively capture the research process across disciplines and demonstrate the importance of research at the local, national and international levels. This year鈥檚 contest is open to faculty, staff, students and alumni, and encourages researchers in any discipline to showcase their research in action.

Everyone is encouraged to think creatively; the only limit is your imagination. Photos can come anywhere from across the globe to the lens of a microscope. The and contests gave Queen鈥檚 many inspiring images of the research happening across the institution.

Images will be featured on the Queen鈥檚 Research webpage, and will be used in various Queen鈥檚 research promotion materials. Photo credit will be given where possible.

There are four categories to submit an image to this year: Community Collaborations, Invisible Discoveries, Out in the Field, and Art in Action. The winner in each category will receive a prize of $500.

Also, there are two other $500 prizes available this year. One prize will be for People鈥檚 Choice, which will be determined by an online vote from members of the Queen鈥檚 community. The other prize will be for Best Description, which will be given to the most creative image caption.
