Enter the Faces of Biology Photo Contest for your chance to win $250 and to have your photo appear on the cover of the journal *BioScience*.
The competition, sponsored by the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), recognizes scientists who use imagery to communicate aspects of biological research to the public and policymakers. “This AIBS initiative is one of the ways scientists can show the public and policymakers what it looks like to do science,” said Dr. Robert Gropp, Co-Executive Director of AIBS. “AIBS is committed to promoting informed decision-making, which requires an engaged public and policymakers. The photo competition is just one of the ways we endeavor to help the public gain a better understanding of biological research.” The theme of the contest is “Faces of Biology.” Photographs entered into the competition must depict a person, such as a scientist, technician, or student, engaging in biological research. The research may occur outside, in a lab, at a natural history collection, at a field station, on a computer, in a classroom, or anywhere else research is done. The First Place Winner will have his/her winning photo featured on the cover of *BioScience*, and will receive $250 and a one year membership in AIBS, including a subscription to *BioScience*. The Second and Third Place Winners will have his/her winning photo printed inside the journal, and will receive a one year membership in AIBS, including a subscription to *BioScience*. The winning photo from the 2016 contest is featured on the cover of the April 2017 issue of *BioScience*. Submissions must be received by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on 1 October 2017.
