Nikon Instruments Inc. today announced the judging panel for the 2019 Nikon Small World photomicrography and Small World in Motion video competitions, which will be held June 25-27 at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
Submissions are evaluated on creativity, informational content, technical prowess and visual impact. Denisa Wagner, Ph.D., Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and the head of the Wagner Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital, Rita Strack, Ph.D., Senior Editor of Nature Methods, Tom Hale, Staff Writer at IFLScience and Ben Gaurino, Science Reporter at The Washington Post will make up the panel selecting 2019’s winning images and videos.
Now in its 45th year, the Nikon Small World competition is widely regarded as the leading forum to recognize proficiency and excellence in photomicrography and video. The competition will honor the top 20 photography and top 5 video winners in addition to awarding Honorable Mentions and Images of Distinction. Top submissions will be recognized for their outstanding ability to capture visually compelling and scientifically significant moments under the microscope.
Throughout its history, the Nikon Small World competition has showcased brilliant imagery and artistic feats in biology, chemistry, and the unseen world around us. Recent winners have ranged from a close-up of a credit card hologram to developing neurons in a zebrafish.
The ability of the competition to bring science to a mass audience relies on both the talent of the entrants and expertise of the panel of judges. More detail on this year’s panel:
“At the heart of the Nikon Small World competition is a desire to bring stunning scientific imagery to the general public,” said Eric Flem, Communications Manager, Nikon Instruments. “We are excited to bring together another incredible panel of expert judges whose penchant for art and science will bring the best microscopy to an audience with a desire to learn about the world around them.”
The Nikon Small World in Motion video winners will be announced in September, and winners of the Small World photomicrography competition will be released in October.
