PURPOSE
OF THE CONTEST
The contest supports the
atmosphere of discovery and wonder that nanoscience and nanotechnology research
represent. The first objective of this competition is for participants to have
fun. The second objective is to promote the public interest and acceptance of
nanos: people new to the subject really begin to understand it when they see
compelling pictures. Many of the illustrations, models and nanoscopic images
produced in researching nanoscale science are very artistic in nature,
transcending basic illustration.
For nRai® and the
Nanosciences Foundation, this contest is important to reward the hard work of
non-Faculty researchers.
CONTEST
GUIDELINES AND RULES
This contest is open to all students and post-doctoral fellows.
Images may be submitted by individuals or groups of labs located in France or
in the European Union - but they should be the work primarily of students,
rather than that of faculty. Subject matter (Particles used for image) shall be
between 1nm - 100nm scale.
All work should be recent
(completed within six months prior to submission) and original. The same image
may be re-submitted up to three separate months, as long as the work is still
fresh and has not previously won a prize.
Images shall be submitted
via our online submission
form, by the last Friday of each month. If the file is too
large, contestant should bring/mail it on a flash drive, CD or DVD at the
Foundation offices.
The winner will be
announced by the fifteenth of the following month. The winning images will be
displayedon this page.
Winners will be awarded a
prize of US$200 by nRai®. In the event of a team entry, equal portions of the
prize will be distributed to members within the team.
At the end of each year
the monthly winning entries will be entered in a final competition for the
award of annual scholarships. Cash prizes for the top three of the 12 monthly
competition winners in each calendar year – will amount to US$5 000 (1st
prize), US$3 000 (2nd prize) and US$2 000 (3rd prize).
All the prizes are
offered by nRai®, the Nanosciences Foundation provides the logistical support
required for the contest to take place.
JUDGMENT
CRITERIA AND JURY
will be ranked by a jury
consisting of representatives from nRai®, the Nanosciences Foundation in
Grenoble, the Collaborative Centre for Applied Nanotechnology in Dublin
(Ireland), the London Center for Nanotechnology (England), the Interface
Physics Group and the Gesellschaft fur Bioanalytik - both in Munster (Germany).
The winning entry will be selected based on a combination of artistic quality
and technical marvel. A visually striking image which illustrates an important
principle in nanoscience or nanotechnology is just as valid for submission as
one that is purely a visually-compelling picture.
