Journal of Biocommunication Showcase

BCA BioImages Exhibition
2021 Award Winners

 

BioImages is the BioCommunications Association's annual visual media competition and showcases the finest still images, illustrations, and graphic media, as well as interactive and motion media work, in the areas of life sciences and medicine.

To be included in BioImages, submissions were evaluated by a distinguished panel of judges for intent, design, execution, and impact. The judges selected 95 images as award winners for the BioImages 2021 Exhibition. The BioImages Exhibition has content selected from ten different categories in three divisions. BioImages designates multiple awards in each award category, as well as BCA Special Merit Awards, Judges Choice Awards, and a Best of Show Award.

To view the still image enlargements with the accompanying award name, title of the work, author names, and institution, please select any image within the multi-image grid to begin a horizontal slide show. Select on the small left and right arrows with your mouse to advance to the next image. To view the interactive media, web design, and videos, select one of the still video images within the image grid.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Some of these creative works garnered more that one award, and may appear here more than once.
