Criteria for Judgement The Award will be given to the most striking image that clearly conveys a point of important biological information in Drosophila research. Selection criteria include, but are not limited to: aesthetic appeal, importance of the result, and the clarity with which it is shown. Eligibility Because the Award is tied closely to science as well as aesthetics, only images that have been accepted for publication in a primary research journal in a given calendar year are eligible for the award. The Award will be presented to the individual researcher who generated and documented the data, at whatever professional level (undergraduate, graduate student, postdoc, technician, PI); the Award will only be given to individuals. Submissions are to be made either by the researcher or by nominators with the researcher's permission. For other eligibility questions, see the FAQ. Guidelines for image submission: Submissions will take the Format of a two page Powerpoint presentation, of file size not to exceed 500 kb. The first page should contain a single image, which may consist of several panels, although simplicity of presentation should be kept in mind. The second page should contain both a Title and an accompanying Caption, as complete but brief as possible, in the style of documentation for the cover of a general interest journal. Both descriptive detail and biological significance should be made clear. The caption should conclude with a Reference to the published work.
Submitting an entry: Submissions are to be emailed to the following Contact Address: imageaward@lists.berkeley.edu Award Process The Image Award committee will accept electronic submissions from October to January for work published in a given calendar year. The committee will select ten finalists, who will be notified three weeks prior to the Drosophila Research Conference. All finalists will also have their images displayed during the presentation. The committee will select one winner from these finalists, who will be presented with a plaque and framed copy of the winning image in a plenary session presentation. |
