Nikon Small World deadline approaches

Post by Chris S. »

Quick reminder: The Nikon Small World competition's deadline is less than a week away. Nikon Small World closely matches our community's interests, and quite a few of our members have been awardees. Anyone not familiar with Nikon Small World would do well to check it out and consider entering.

A few details based on personal communication with competition officials:
  • Home-made microscopes: While eligible images must be made with a light microscope, those from home-made microscopes (such as my macro rig) are definitely eligible: "The homemade microscope is a new and growing sector of the contest and we are excited to collect and judge these images."

    Our Administrators Appreciation Awards: While images that have won another competition are not eligible, our forum's Administrators Appreciation Award is not considered a competition and does not affect Nikon Small World eligibility.

    Video: "The video portion of the contest is of great interest, Small World in Motion is relatively new and video microscopy is in the infancy stage, so I feel this contest is wide open. The videos and still images are judged separately each year."

    The Small World gallery of winning images graces the covers and pages and websites of some of the worlds most respected publications including Nature, CNN, National Geographic, and Scientific American, just to name a few. Exhibits containing the winning entries are displayed at museums and science centers throughout the U.S. and Canada and has hung at the National Academy of Science in Washington DC.
