Photography Call for Entries
The natural world houses a wealth of surprises and secrets. We invite you to capture and/or uncover this hidden world of biology for the Royal Society of Biology's annual amateur photography competition.
You can explore the kingdom of microorganisms that are too small to be seen by human eyes; or you can explore the world which exists hidden from us underground or under the sea. For example, think of the lives of earthworms or spawning coral. You might want to capture an example of camouflage, such as the angler fish that has evolved to meld perfectly with its surroundings. Your photograph might portray a side to biology that is not physically hidden but that often escapes notice, like fungi, or landscapes that are unseen by most of people due to their extreme or inaccessible locations.
We welcome your entries exploring this theme at the molecular or sub-cellular level, illustrating the complexity of life that is only revealed to us with the aid of a microscope.
This competition is supported by Eppendorf. There are two categories each with a cash prize: 18+ (£1000) and under 18s (£500).
Submit up to three images by Thursday 31st August 2017.
