Winning images in research photo contest will be featured in magazine

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The staff of "Research/Penn State" magazine is looking for research images to run as part of the publication’s “At Large” feature. The winning photographer will receive a high-quality print of the image used in the magazine, suitable for framing.

"Research/Penn State" is a biennial publication with a circulation of more than 40,000, covering research and creative activity at the University.

Submitted images must relate to research being conducted by someone at Penn State and be visually compelling.

The photo:

  • Must be horizontal and able to fill a two-page spread;
  • Can be a scenic, close-up or micrograph;
  • Can be realistic or abstract, such as patterned structure;
  • Can be color or black and white;
  • Can include a person if the person is small within the frame. Images should not be portraits.
  • Must be available at a resolution of at least 300 dpi. (Note: This is not the same as ppi.)

The first "At Large" winner, a close-up by Bernardo Niño of honey bees at their hive, is pictured at right and can also be seen on pages 8 and 9 of the current issue or on the Research Matters blog.

To submit a photo for consideration, email it to Cherie Winner at clw43@psu.edu. For more information, call 863-4750.
