2006
finalists
Every year since 2006, in the run up to Christmas, we have held a grand prize micrograph and movie competition for our users.
Every year except 2020 that is, when COVID-19 prevented us running our advanced light microscopy course and greatly restricted the amount of imaging undertaken by our users.
To make up for this, we produced a 2021 A4 calendar and A3 year planner featuring the winners of the last 12 years. Download them from the links below.
We call it "Grand Prize" because the prizes are grand, thanks to kind sponsorship from various microscope manufacturers. They have included digital cameras, binoculars and gift vouchers for the best micrograph and movie, with runner up prizes of bottles of wine or chocolates.

We individually select a shortlist and the 12 favourites overall are then re-judged.
