2026 Photo/Art Contest

Accepting Entries: March 16-April 3, 2026

We are celebrating our 5th annual Boiology photo/art contest this year! The Department of Biology invites members of our community (broadly-defined) to share photos of biologists in action, interesting micrographs, or Biology-themed works of art for our inaugural Photo/Art contest.  

Winning entries will be selected for framing and mounting on our Biology gallery wall on the first floor of Gottwald.  The top three entries will be awarded prizes!
