Online open call
Dear Czech-BioImaging Users,
we are pleased to share that the 12th annual Photogenic Science photography competition is now open for submissions as of May 5, 2025. This contest is organized for employees of the Czech Academy of Sciences and celebrates the visual beauty of scientific work.
We invite all Czech-BioImaging users to participate in the competition and submit their photographs—especially images captured through microscopes during their research projects conducted in our Core Facilities.
Competition Categories:
- Main Category – Photogenic Science: Submit scientifically themed photographs taken in the past two years. This includes images of scientific instruments, lab environments, natural phenomena, and more.
- Secondary Category – Scientists and a Sense of Humor: A lighthearted take on the world of science, featuring humorous, creative, or whimsical perspectives. There is no date restriction for images in this category.
Selected entries will be showcased in an exhibition at the Science and Art Gallery in the Czech Academy of Sciences building on Národní třída at the end of 2025. In addition, top photographs from the main category will be featured in the official 2026 calendar of the Academy.
Submission Deadline: 16 June 2025
Photographs must be submitted via the online form at www.vedafotogenicka.cz. To upload photos, registration or login is required. Detailed rules and submission guidelines are available in the “Rules” section of the website.
