Image of Research is an annual multidisciplinary competition celebrating the diversity and breadth of student research at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The graduate student edition is organized by the Scholarly Commons of the University Library and the Graduate College.
The semi-finalists were chosen by an interdisciplinary panel who judged entries on: 1) connection between image, text, and research, 2) originality, and 3) visual impact.
In addition to the People's Choice award ($100), semi-finalists compete for First prize ($500), Second prize ($300), Third prize ($200), and Honorable Mention ($100).
