The Institut Pasteur is organizing a scientific photo contest
The Institut Pasteur is organizing a scientific photo contest.
The objectives are multiple:
• Allow students, researchers, engineers, technicians, and other personnel from the Institut Pasteur in Paris and the Institut Pasteur Network to share their work or passion.
• Reveal how scientific work is conducted and give a face to the researchers behind it.
• The images may be added to the Institut Pasteur's photo library and used for communication purposes and exhibitions.
An exhibition of will be held at the institute. A jury including scientists and artists will also select images to be displayed on the Institut Pasteur's fences. If needed, a photographer will take pictures of scientists in their labs to explain pedagogically how the photos are obtained. Different categories of images are accepted (see below). Prizes for the best contributions will be awarded by the jury, and by votes from exhibition visitors.
The different categories of documents that can be submitted are:
1. Optical or electron microscopy photos.
2. "Macroscopic" photos of tissues, organs, people, places, laboratories, landscapes related to Institut Pasteur activities.
3. Short videos related to Institut Pasteur scientific results and activities.

5. Already published scientific magazine covers.
