The 2023 micrograph contest is now accepting entries. Please go to the 2023 entries page to view all unedited entries.

The sooner you submit your entry, the sooner the rest of the MNE attendees can see it (them). This is one way to improve your chance for the “MNEer’s Choice” Award.

How to Enter:

  1. Select your favorite micrograph(s) and or microvideo(s). [You can enter as many times as you like].
  2. For each micrograph, download the Powerpoint template and entry form, paste in your micrograph/video, and fill out the template and entry form with the necessary information. If you do enter more than a single micrograph please combine all entries into a single Powerpoint file and combine all entry forms into a single Word file.
  3. Please name the Powerpoint file: MNE-2023-Your-Name-Your-Institution.ppt
  4. Please name the entry form file: MNEForm-2023-Your-Name-Your-Institution.doc
  5. Email the micrograph(s) and/or microvideo(s) with your entry form(s) to jrandall@zyvexlabs.com AND sanjeet@zyvexlabs.com.
  6. SPECIAL NOTE: We will for the 7th year, have a MNEer’s Choice Award where attendees can vote for their favorite micrograph. (The Blue Dot with a number is to identify each micrograph).
  7. The sooner you turn in your micrograph, the more likely it is to gain web exposure. If you wait until the conference to get your entry to me, the Judges will see it, but the attendees may or may not. With that being said, we highly recommend entries be submitted by September 22nd, 2023, but we will conditionally accept entries through midnight on the 26th.
  8. If you win, you can be Micro-Famous and Nano-Rich!
