Biology: from Big to Small

From avalanche to zooplankton explore the world with RSB

Submit

From avalanche to zooplankton. From nanotechnology to the world’s largest sewage systems. From the arid landscapes of Australia to colourful lichen encrusting trees in a suburban garden.

Supported by Eppendorf we invite amateurs to use photography to explore interactions between the macro and the micro in biology – from tiny fish creating huge shoals, to algal blooms suffocating a river ecosystem, or microorganisms eating plastic waste in our oceans.

We also encourage entries captured by a microscope, from dispersing fungal spores to grains of sand. The fluorescence microscope, for example, provides an interesting window into the world of the cell and is great for examining living and fixed cells in culture.

Get snapping and submit up to three images by 31st August 2016. Find out more online www.rsb.org.uk/photocomp or contact the Society at photocomp@rsb.org.uk

Prizes:

There are two categories each with a cash prize: 18+ (£1000) and under 18s (£500).

Eligibility:

Amateur photographers from around the world
