BHF Reflections in Research 2024
Published: 28 May 2024
The applications are open until the 28th June
The BHF’s annual Reflections of Research image competition application window is currently open, and is due to close on Friday 28th June.
A recap of the 2 entry categories, below, and the prize(s) up for grabs:
1. Image
Our annual competition brings to life the groundbreaking work of our heart and circulatory research community across the UK through stunning imagery. We want you to think big and bold – images from across microscopy, medical imaging, photography and beyond are all eligible for consideration.
The most engaging, exciting and creative image is awarded the British Heart Foundation’s Reflection of Research Judges' Winner by our panel of judges. Our social media followers also vote on the shortlisted entries to pick the Supporter’s Favourite.
Deadline: Friday 28th June
2. Video (BHF-funded PhD Students only)
For the first time, we are including a new video category, specifically for our BHF-funded PhD students, which will showcase the breadth of cardiovascular research that our early career scientists undertake. In this category, we want to see what a 'Day in the Life' of our students looks like in a short film, demonstrating how their research plays a part in their daily lives.
This category will be judged by the BHF Fund the Future Club – a philanthropic giving group that helps BHF to fund PhD studentships.
Deadline: Friday 28th June
Prizes
Winners of all 3 categories (‘Day in the Life’, Judges’ Favourite and Supporters’ Favourite) will win a £100 Amazon voucher. Winners will also be invited to an exclusive event held in London to showcase their science and receive their prizes.
