SLTB 2021 Photo Image Competition

A picture is worth 1000 words…

Welcome back to the SLTB photo competition for SLTB2021!

As with previous years, images may be anything low temperature biology related, from cryopreserved cells to icicles on your rooftop, plant meristems to arctic foxes at play. All entries will be displayed as part of the annual scientific meeting where online votes will be cast votes to decide the winner.

Prizes are available to the winners as follows:

First prize: £50

Second Prize: £30

Third Prize: £20

So get your entries in now! Send photos either scanned or in .jpg, .tif or .bmp formats at as high resolution as you can, to the SLTB email address!

All photos entered will be featured on the SLTB website and displayed at the annual meeting, so please make sure you have ownership rights for any pictures entered and credit the photographer, and both are happy for them to appear on the SLTB website, SLTB Facebook page and on the SLTB Twitter feed. Photos can be previously published and SLTB requires only permission to display them and will not retain any ownership rights from the photographer or submitting entrant.

Images up to the size of 10MB can be uploaded using the form at the bottom of this page if emailing is not possible.

Rules: Multiple entries are allowed but only the most highly voted entry will be counted for a prize (so you can only win one prize). Votes will be taken online during the SLTB2021 conference. Voting will be anonymous - numbered photos will be displayed without labels and cast votes will also be anonymous. Each attendee should vote for only 1 photograph and should not vote for their own (even if you think it’s the best)!! Votes will be counted and the highest votes for an individual photo will be taken as that entrants high score, with awards presented to the three entrants with highest votes. Where an entrant has submitted more than one photo, their final entry will be the highest scoring photo of all their submissions. Winners will be notified by email and announced at the meeting. Prizes will be awarded by paypal or bank transfer after the meeting is over by arrangement with the winner. All photos will appear on the SLTB website following the competition winner announcement.
