Looking for arresting images of scientists from around the world taking part in their craft — both in the laboratory and far outside of it.

This year, we’re introducing a cash prize. The overall winner will receive £500 or equivalent, and the winner and runners-up will have their photo exhibited at Nature Careers’ live event in London in October. As always, the winner and runners-up will receive a year’s print and online subscription to Nature, and their entries will appear in a feature story in an April issue of the journal, and at nature.com/careers.
