European Science Photo Contest

Do you like the idea of using science to show science itself? If so, grab your camera and get creative. The link between knowledge, observation and people is what the European Science Photo Contest is all about.

Humans always sought to understand the way things around them work. Asking why, how and when leads to the development of science. Scientists always look for possibilities before presenting their findings and observations. From the first wall scripture, to Leonardo da Vinci's drawings, to microscopy, photography, and molecular modeling, scientists developed means to spread their knowledge to the world.

Through this contest, MILSET Europe aims to create a leeway for youths to creatively express what they observe within science, in pictures. There are no set parameters limiting one's creativity. This is why the European Science Photo Contest is set in two categories - Science Phenomena and Scientific Objects. This will enable participants to hunt for something interesting in things surrounding them that have a scientific value, showing something never seen before, or giving a new perspective to a commonly seen object.

Participation is very easy: all one has to do is send his/her photo via the Website www.espc.milset.org . Photos will be judged by the MILSET Europe executive committee with the support of professional photographers and scientists.

Winning photographs will be shown from October to December in the Royal Museums of Art and History of Brussels during the 50th anniversary Expo of Young Belgian Scientist. The winner of both categories will be invited to the inauguration.
