Photomicrography Competition
The Nikon International Small World Competition first began in 1974 as a means to recognize and applaud the efforts of those involved with photography through the light microscope. Since then, Small World has become a leading showcase for photomicrographers from the widest array of scientific disciplines.

In Motion Competition
Small World in Motion will honor the technical expertise of bio- and industrial-focused scientists alike, who use digital time-lapse photography to study everything from the movement of microscopic organisms to stress on industrial materials. Winners of the Small World in Motion category will be selected in a different judging process than that of the images. Movies will be judged on the merit of being visually outstanding as well as depicting the intersection of science and art.
