Here is your chance to create art through a scientific lens.
Canada’s annual scientific research image contest 2026 edition is open for submissions.
Science Exposed is organized by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the francophone counterpart contest La preuve par l'image is organized by Association francophone pour le savoir (ACFAS).
In recent years, graduate students and faculty members at the University of Windsor have fared well in the competition.
“Sheer anatomy” by graduate student Gloria D’Amaral and Dr. Tricia Carmichael was a 2025 finalist and in 2024 “Biodiversity in a noisy urban jungle” by Dr. Dan Mennill and Dr. Stéphanie Doucet was a finalist.
In 2023 PhD candidate Rahaf Hussein (BSc ‘19) won both a Jury Prize and the People’s Choice Award for her photograph, titled “Copper Beach.”
The national science communication initiative welcomes images from all fields of study. This is a great opportunity for the UWindsor research community to showcase their Canadian scientific research images.
Apply now through NSERC’s Science Exposed or ACFAS’s La prevue par l’image respective websites by submitting online by Feb. 9 with an image directly related to your research with a written description of the image.
