February 17, 2022
Have you taken some fabulous shots in the lab or the field during the course of your work? Submit them to Envisioning Research—NC State’s annual research image contest!
NC State is calling on graduate students, undergraduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff to help highlight the beauty and importance of the work being done both on campus and around the world. There are cash prizes for winners and runners up in four categories: photography, microscopy, graphics and data visualization, and video and interactive.
Started in 2016, the contest is a collaborative effort by NC State’s Office of Research and Innovation, the Graduate School, the Office of Undergraduate Research, the NC State University Libraries and University Communications and Marketing. The contest was born out of a desire to make NC State research more accessible by using art as a medium to explain complex discoveries.
Winners will be featured on one of the visualization walls in the Hunt Library. Visit online slideshows to see the 2020 winners and 2021 winners. The winners from the first three years of Envisioning Research were featured in exhibits at the Hill and Hunt Libraries.
The deadline for submissions is Sunday, June 19. Full contest details and the online submission form are at https://envisioning.research.ncsu.edu/.
