By Gloria Rosado | Events | 0 comment | 20 July, 2020 | 0

This post will be updated regularly. Be sure to check back for the latest contest information.

Voting is now closed and the judges are deliberating. Stay tuned!

The third-annual Mass General Research Institute Image Contest has finally begun, and we are excited to see what this year has to offer!

Each year we put out a call across Massachusetts General Hospital and its affiliate institutions for researchers to share images of their work and the story behind their science. The contest provides the unique opportunity for science lovers across the globe to get an inside look as Mass General research, and allows scientists the chance to share their story and unique point of view.

If you are a Mass General researcher, we invite you to enter our 2020 Mass General Research Institute Image Contest from August 3, 2020 through September 25, 2020.

We are looking for any images that represent research at Mass General, including (but not limited to):

  • Microscope/lab images
  • 3-D models
  • Scans
  • Team photos

Keep in mind, some of our top images last year were chosen because of the accompanying story, so we encourage creativity and speaking from the heart when describing your submission!

The winner will be announced on November 6, 2020 and will receive the following prizes:

  • Image featured in an ad in Proto Magazine

  • A Research Institute fleece

Finalists will receive:

We are excited for the image contest to begin and look forward to seeing your images. Be sure to check back for updates and to enter! Just make sure you read the contest rules below before you enter. Good luck!

Contest Rules

To be eligible for this contest, you must be a researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital or an affiliated center. Participants can submit a maximum of three images, and a complete form must be submitted with each image/entry.

All photos should be submitted as a high-quality JPEG or TIF file at a minimum of 300 dpi and should be copyright free. To check the quality of the image, right click on the image and check the properties. The DPI will be listed in the details. We reserve the right to exclude entries based on image quality.

By entering the 2020 Mass General Research Institute Image Contest, you retain the rights to your works while granting Massachusetts General Hospital and its affiliates the unrestricted, royalty-free, perpetual right to use, reproduce, communicate, modify and display the works (in whole or in part) for any purpose without any fee or other form of compensation, and without further notification or permission.

MGRI team members constantly monitor the performance of Image Contest entries during the voting process. If a participant is suspected of artificially inflating their vote tally during the contest (e.g. buying bots or votes), MGRI reserves the right to disqualify the participant/entry.
