The contest remains open for entries through Friday, June 20.
The 16th annual Panda’s Thumb Photography Contest begins now, Monday, June 2, at 12:00 p.m., MDT (MDT = UTC(GMT) – 6 h). Entries will be accepted between now and Friday, June 20, at 12:00 p.m., MDT. The rules are precisely the same as previous years’, except, obviously, that the dates have been updated.
We encourage entries in a single, general category, which includes pictures of just about anything of scientific interest: any object of experimentation or observation, from single-celled organisms, through nematodes, fruit flies, rats, chimpanzees, and college sophomores to volcanoes, stars, and galaxies. In order not to omit theoreticians, we will consider computer-generated pictures and also photographs of equipment. Photomicrographs and electron micrographs are likewise welcomed.
Since rumor has it that the pandemic encouraged macro photography, we may, if we receive enough entries, establish a “macro” category.
The winner will receive a choice between Why Intelligent Design Fails, A Scientific Critique of the New Creationism, edited by Taner Edis and me; and Mark Isaak’s 2007 classic The Counter-Creationism Handbook, generously contributed once again by NCSE. The runner-up will receive the remaining book.
** PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST BEGINS NEXT MONDAY, JUNE 2 **
It will be the XVIth – who’da thunk it?
