On February 16, 2010, FEI invited owners and users of our microscopes to submit their best nano-scale images for a chance to win great monthly prizes and the grand prize of two round-trip tickets to anywhere in the world. Each month, FEI applications engineers selected one technical merit winner, and one popular winner was chosen from all entries on Flickr.com, the web's premier image-sharing portal (see all the entries on Flickr).
The competition has ended and the final tally of votes begins. We had incredible participation amongst our owners and users, and more than 1000 votes were cast in four days for the Most Popular Image grand prize winner.
Watch this page for an announcement the week of August 16, where we will reveal the grand prize winners of the technical and popular image awards, and the winner of the Apple iPad. Thanks to everyone for making the 2010 FEI Image Contest a huge success!
