Announcing BMC Ecology's 2016 Image Competition

I hope this email finds you well. I am the Editor of BMC Ecology, an open access journal owned by BioMed Central that publishes articles on environmental, behavioral and population ecology as well as biodiversity of plants, animals and microbes.

We hold an annual Image Competition, in which we encourage ecologists throughout the world to submit their favorite images that are judged by an expert panel with an opportunity to win a selection of prizes. The competition is very popular, encourages creativity and highlights the research of ecologists worldwide.

I am writing in case any students or researchers in your department at University of Michigan may be interested in entering – I have attached a flyer to this email with the details, if you would like to post or distribute it within your department.

The competition is open now and closes May 29, and provides an opportunity to win cash prizes, be featured in the journal, and possibly receive international media attention – past competitions have been picked up by Scientific AmericanIBT TimesBBC and The Guardian.
