April 17, 2009: The Australian Museum and New Scientist magazine are inviting entries to the New Scientist Eureka Prize for Science Photography, which is open to Australians of 18 years and over and has a cash prize pool of $10,000.
Entries are now invited from both amateur and professional photographers, scientists and non-scientists for this national photography prize. The prize is awarded to a single photograph that most effectively communicates an aspect of science and answers the question: What does science mean to you?
The definition of ‘science’ is, for the purpose of this prize, a comprehensive one. It includes the natural, physical, applied or life sciences (including agricultural sciences); environmental issues; biodiversity issues; flora and fauna; medicine; astronomy; information technology; technological innovation; engineering and health science; as well as work that addresses the social or economic consequences of science.
