Submit your images for a chance to win!
QBIN is pleased to announce the launch of the first annual *Art of Imaging
Competition*

*Images by Yuankang Lu, Nahid Babazadeh Khameneh, and Ilana Leppert &
Christine Tardif*
Do you have an interesting, impressive, or beautiful scientific image that
you would like to share with a wider audience? Images are a powerful means
of teaching and communicating, and an excellent way to reach a broad and
diverse audience to increase the impact and awareness of scientific
research. In the field of bio-imaging, we are lucky to produce data that is
often inherently ripe with aesthetic and scientific value. Even images that
are not necessarily visually beautiful can be intriguing, captivating, and
can stimulate curiosity or other emotions.

This year, we are launching the first Annual Art of Imaging Competition
<https://gmail.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f9fafbcff59512791071a28d1&id=35dd5ea7e9&e=bfe5ef5651>,
with prizes awarded to the best submitted images. From microscopy to MRI,
we want to showcase the wide variety of topics covered by our network’s
members to spark curiosity and inspire viewers to learn more about
bio-imaging research conducted in Quebec and around the world, and how it
impacts their lives.


*Two prizes will be awarded for the best submitted images*: The People’s
Choice Award will be selected by online popular vote, and the Jury Award
will be selected by a panel of QBIN committee members. *Winners will be
awarded $200* as well as the opportunity to have their image included in
our next live exhibition (learn more about our previous exhibitions here
