http://IMAGES.rit.edu
The School of Photographic Arts and Sciences at Rochester Institute of
Technology, Rochester, N.Y., is proud to be organizing the exhibition
and catalogue, IMAGES from SCIENCE 2008, scheduled for its opening in
the fall of 2008. The organizers are soliciting images created
specifically for the purpose of recording of scientific and engineering
research or images from other related fields such as oceanography,
geology, biology, engineering, medicine, physics, or other related
disciplines.
IMAGES from SCIENCE 2008 is planned to be a showcase of photographs made
in the pursuit of scientific information. Since the exhibition is
soliciting images worldwide we would appreciate you sharing this
announcement with others to accomplish our goal of developing this
unique international exhibition so that it includes a wide range of
contributors.
Inclusion into this juried show will be based on the photograph's
impact, the image's aesthetics, the degree of difficulty in the making
of the photograph as well as other related criteria as applied from a
wide range of jurors. Persons submitting images must certify that they
own the copyright to the image(s). Judging, will take place in
Rochester, N.Y., March 2008. There is no entry fee.
To be considered for this exhibition sample digital files must be
submitted for the judging process. A maximum of four images per creator
may be submitted for judging. JPEG files with a resolution of about 640
x 480 pixels, medium compression resulting in image file sizes of less
than 100 kb, should be emailed as attachments to RITphoto@xxxxxxx by
February 28, 2008. Make sure to include the word IMAGES in the subject
line of the message to which the images are attached.
In addition to the e-mail submission, please include the following
information for each image:
* photographer and/or organization's name
* title of the photograph
* subject photographed
* any relevant data about the experiment

A minimum of seven International Judges are being identified to select
the final images that will be a part of the exhibition and catalogue.
IMAGES from SCIENCE will be on display in fall 2008 for a period of
three weeks after which it may be available to travel.
