[Martin Spitaler]

Dear microscopists,

   we are slowly nearing the end of the year again, so it's time for our 
annual competition again, the FILM IMAGE OF THE YEAR 2013-14! Again, 
thanks to generous sponsorship from Molecular Probes / Life 
Technologies, attractive prizes are waiting:

*Winner *- an*iPod Nano*!   ...for those long hours at the microscope
_Runners-up_: a beautiful _A3 poster calendar_, worth £23!

*Deadline* for submission of your images: *Friday 29th of December 2012*

_*Judges *_
As in previous years, we have a prestigious panel of independent judges 
to select your best images:

Tatiana Schofield, Imperial College Consultants
Melissa Belli, artist

    _Rules for participation_

  * Up to 3 images per participant; they must show different samples
    (not different versions of the same image)
  * Images must have been taken on FILM microscopes (original data files
    must be made available)
  * Images will be judged purely on their visual impression, they do not
    need to show any scientific results, but a description of the
    scientific context is encouraged (and might make it more interesting
    for the judges)
  * The best possible visualisation of the image data is encouraged
    (e.g. contrast enhancement, look-up tables), but manipulation of
    pixel data is not allowed - the scientific content must still
    visible. Examples of manipulations not allowed are adding / removing
    of objects (retouching) or collages (copying objects together)
  * By submitting the images, participants grant FILM the right to make
    the entries publicly available on the FILM website, use them for the
    calendars or other presentations describing research peformed in the
    facility; please make sure they don't contain any identifiable
    unpublished information

For inspirations from previous years and details see the website:

Good imaging,

Martin
