2025 RMS Imaging Competition shortlist finalised!

A shortlist of images and videos submitted to this year's RMS Scientific Imaging Competition has been finalised to go on display at mmc2025.

The competition's judges whittled down a total of more than 230 submissions across six different award categories covering all forms of microscopy across the sciences. The shortlist consists of 38 images and five video entries, with the winners to be revealed at Manchester Central on Wednesday, 2 July. All our shortlisted entrants should now have received confirmation via email.

Dr John Hutchison, Hon FRMS, has been a member of the competition's judging panel for many years.

He said: "I would like to thank everyone who contributed entries to this year’s competition, which is shaping up to be one of our best ever. Once again the overall quality of the images and videos submitted has made our task very difficult! The imaging competition is always a highlight of mmc, and I’m really looking forward to seeing the images on show at Manchester Central. Congratulations to all our shortlisted entrants."
