IDIBAPS organises a scientific photography competition every year. Its own staff and workers from other entities in the Campus Clínic environment are all eligible to take part. The images are posted in an album and all those interested have around a month to “like” their favourites. The fifteen most “liked” photos enter the final phase, when an external jury selects the three winners. This year the verdict was:
1st prize: Bubble Universe, by Verónica Villagrasa Araya (250-euro token for La Impossible bookshop)
2nd prize: Wabi-sabi, by Saül Pascual Diaz (150-euro token for La Impossible bookshop)
3rd prize: Glowing Cave, by Alejandro Hinojosa Moscoso (75-euro token for La Impossible bookshop)
The jury was formed by:
Mònica Bertran, TV3 journalist specialising in health matters
Josep Pujol, ICO head of press
Arantxa Mena, VHIO science communications manager
Estíbaliz Urarte, Sant Joan de Déu Foundation communications manager
Míriam Rivera, ACCC technical secretary
This activity is organised by UCC+I and IDIBAPS with the support of FECYT.
