Just a reminder for those of you going to the Portland MSA meeting.

The concept of the contest is based upon composite images, made up of
 two or more images, at least one of which must be microscopical in nature.
Contestants may enter up to two entrees and do not have to be present to win.

Entries will be displayed in our booth at M&M 99 (Portland, OR,
August 1/5 99) and conference attendees will be invited to vote on which
they find the most creative and interesting.  Winning entries, and perhaps
others, will be featured on the cover of Microscopy Today.  First prize will
be $300, $200 for second prize and $100 for third prize. All contestants will
receive their choice of two microscopy prints by David Scharf.

Entries must, of course, be in hard copy.  They may be in either
black/white or full color.  While any reasonable size is acceptable, a size
of around 8 1/2 x 11 inches is ideal. Entries should be mounted on rather
stiff material. A 3" x 5" card should accompany each entry  with image
description and contributors name, affiliation, etc.
Entries are welcome from all including manufacturers and suppliers
and overseas microscopists.  And, as previously mentioned, one does not have
to be present to win.

Once a firm decision is made to participate, we would greatly
appreciate being advised  with the number of your entries.  That way we can
be sure to have adequate space to display all entries.

The entries may be delivered to our booth at the start of the conference.

Again, thank you for your interest.
