UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The staff of Research|Penn State magazine has announced a contest to find a superb research-related image to be published on its “At Large” pages in the Fall 2022 issue. The winning photographer will receive a high-quality print of the image in its magazine layout, suitable for framing.

Deadline for submission is Monday, June 20. Submitted images must relate to research being conducted by someone at Penn State (any campus) and be visually compelling.

A submitted photo:

  • must be a strong horizontal so it can completely fill a two-page spread.
  • must be available at high resolution, at least 300 dpi at a size of 11” x 17”. Keep this in mind as you shoot, especially through microscopes.
  • may be a scenic, close-up, or micrograph; realistic or abstract; color; black and white, or colorized. Archival shots will also be considered. Previous winners can be seen here, here, and here.
  • may include a person in the scene, but portraits will not be considered.

 

More than one image may be submitted, but please be selective; do not send a link to an entire collection of images.

Send entries to David Pacchioli at dap1@psu.edu, providing basic information about the image, such as where it was shot, by whom, and what research it relates to.

Research|Penn State is a biennial publication with a circulation of more than 32,000, covering research and creative activity at the University.
