There is a massive amount of research going on at Queen’s University and a recent photo contest has helped provide a view of some of the amazing work being accomplished.

This September, the Office of the Vice-Principal (Research) launched the first Art of Research photo contest, calling on faculty, staff and students to showcase their research, scholarly and artistic work. Dozens of images were received highlighting a wide range of research from microbiology to the humanities, and locations such as a lab on campus to the Ebola outbreak zone in Africa.

“Our inaugural Art of Research photo contest was truly a great success! We received over 50 entries from students, faculty, and staff that spanned the disciplines, ” says Melinda Knox, co-managing editor of (e)AFFECT, the Queen’s research magazine. “The winning submissions illustrate that research is not just about output: it is also an artistic endeavour and this should be celebrated.”   

A panel of judges selected the first, second, third-prize winners, as well as an honourable mention. Another six photos were included in a shortlist.

Shown are the winners and shortlisted photos. See the  for the story behind each photo.
