Has your research uncovered something breathtaking in the nervous system? An image you’d love to share with the world?

Send it to HBI! You could win a $200 cash prize and have your work displayed online and/or on the walls of Harvard’s science buildings. Up to five awards will be made.

Eligibility: All students, fellows and staff working in Harvard University or Harvard-affiliated hospital labs are invited to apply. One entry per person.

Image Content: We welcome original research images that showcase any aspect of structure or function in the central or peripheral nervous system, its cells or the sub-cellular structures within.

Image Resolution: Applicants should have high resolution files available for any image submitted – something that could be printed on a large poster. We will reach out to finalists to collect the high resolution files as needed.

Restrictions: It does not matter if the image is published or unpublished, as long as the applicant owns the rights. However, images submitted should be recent ones (acquired within the past three years) and should not have won any previous awards or been featured on the cover of a magazine or scientific journal. Also, note that images submitted must have been acquired by the applicant while doing work in a Harvard University or Harvard-affiliated hospital research lab.

Permissions: Please check with your lab head before entering to confirm that your image is ready for sharing. We are looking for images that can be entered into a Harvard neuroscience image library and shared widely – from being featured on the Harvard Brain Science website and Twitter feed, newsletters and donor reports to the walls of the Goldenson building at Harvard Medical School or other buildings in our community. A credit line naming you and your lab would be included as prominently and close to your image as the display medium allows.

Deadline: Monday October 15
