Check out the Commons Wall in the Hunt Library to see the fabulous, winning images from the 6th annual NC State Envisioning Research contest!

NC State researchers regularly see spectacular things while working in fields such as Life Sciences, Entomology, Agricultural Engineering, and Geospatial Analytics. Envisioning Research, the university’s annual research image contest, celebrates the artistic imagery that graduate students and postdocs, researchers, and faculty and staff capture in the course of their work.

NC State News lists all of this year’s contest winners here, along with a link to an online gallery.

The contest is a collaborative effort by NC State’s Office of Research and Innovation, the Graduate School, the NC State University Libraries, the Office of Undergraduate Research and University Communications and Marketing. Envisioning Research was open to faculty, staff, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and undergraduates.

Winning images are also available for download as Zoom backgrounds to liven up your virtual meetings!
