CU Up Close Image Competition

The CU Up Close Image Competition celebrates the art in science within the world of microscopy. While it is easy to be focused on the rigor of creating robust imaging data, it is also important to take a moment to appreciate the elegance of what we can now observe and capture. This competition demonstrates our advanced imaging capabilities while appreciating the imaging artist that resides in all of us.

The ALMC is happy to announce that submissions are now open for the 2024 competition. Submit your entry by October 11, 2024!

You can also submit your images:

  • In person to Joe Dragavon
