Everything cost money. It’s a fact of life. So based on the interest generated in previous years we sought corporate sponsorship to cover the prizes, cost of printing and framing, the prize award ceremony, fliers, posters etc etc. Companies once again have been very helpful which means we have enhanced the cash prizes and also have a nice initiative for Ph.D students where the Ph.D student with the best image will be awarded £300 to go towards a conference of their choice (it has to be scientific not a conference on the numbers of grains of sand per cubic cm on an Ibizan beach). It’s a great idea because some studentships don’t have a lot of travel money.
Invitrogen also have a special promotional code a 30% discount on Alexa Dye based products. So you can use some of their bright shiny dyes for your glorious immunofluorescence images at reduced cost. They also offered to print up T-shirts of the 1st prize image for the winning lab.
