The British Society for Immunology (BSI) is launching Immunology in Action 2010 a competition to celebrate, through the beauty of images, the diversity of immunology.

To celebrate the Day of Immunology 2010, the BSI is running its first ever image competition, Immunology in Action, to explore the diversity of the subject in all its forms, and the impact it has on our lives.  The competition is open to all, from school children to patients to professors.  Images should explore an immunological theme: whether something found down the microscope; medicines and treatment; or field work or education.

However, this is not an exhaustive list.  Entries will be judged on their visual impact, originality and their ability to communicate immunology.  We encourage the use of imaginative and innovative means to communicate the impact of immunology. 
Images will be judged by Tom Pringle (aka Dr Bunhead), Professor David Gray (University of Edinburgh, BSI) and Mark Henderson (The Times). 

First prize is £1000 and there are a total of 12 prizes to be won.
