If you take a quiet stroll across the Queen’s campus, you might find it hard to visualize what’s going on inside our many buildings when it comes to research. And this is where the Art of Research photo contest comes in. The annual contest invites researchers in all faculties to submit striking images of their research in action. This year’s contest had dozens of submissions, each capturing a unique aspect of the researcher’s work. From a Mars rover to a moment of resistance, the winners of the photo contest showcased their research in creative and interesting images, demonstrating the importance of their work at the local, national and international levels.

The 2017-2018 contest had a slightly different format, allowing entries from faculty, staff, students and alumni. Images were submitted to four categories: Community Collaborations, Invisible Discoveries, Out in the Field, and Art in Action. Prizes were awarded to the top photo in each category, as well as in two other categories: Best Description and People’s Choice. Winners were selected by a panel of judges, and the People’s Choice winner was determined by an online vote from the Queen’s community.

“Each year we are excited and often surprised by the images that are submitted. Each photo captures a unique perspective and together they contribute to peoples’ overall understanding and appreciation of the scope and the quality of the research being carried out here at Queen’s and around the world,” says Melinda Knox, Associate Director, Research Profile and Initiatives.
