The photograph could be taken in a laboratory, a hospital, at home or outside. Amateur and professional photographers are encouraged to enter. The picture does not have to be taken using sophisticated equipment.
Entries can come from an inexpensive compact camera or a scanning tunnelling microscope.
The winning picture might be a close up of a virus, a pair of identical twins, a change in agriculture or an environmental development. What matters is that it depicts science and the positive impact it can have on our lives. We have over 7,000 of cameras from Kodak as prizes for the winners, including their latest sophisticated digital cameras.
