To acknowledge and encourage the creativity of our members involved in antibody research, The Antibody Society is holding an imaging competition, which is open to all members.
Participants must submit an eye-catching high resolution (600 dpi or higher) image, with a brief explanation of the research behind it and the scientific method (e.g., confocal microscopy, x-ray crystallography, in silico method). We accept both wet-lab and in silico originated images!
Twelve images will be short listed and members will then be invited to vote for the best image. The 12 short-listed images will made into a calendar for distribution by The Antibody Society at the Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics meeting in December.
The winning image will be featured as the cover image for the 2026 volume of mAbs and the cover image of the 2026 calendar.
The member who submits the winning image will receive broad exposure of their work, a $400 cash prize, and the option of a free registration to:
1) Schrödinger’s online course, Introduction to Computational Antibody Engineering;
2) virtual Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics; or
3) 1 year subscription to the Oxford Global PLUS platform.
Competition start: April 1, 2025
Deadline for submission of images: July 15, 2025
Please send your image to membership@antibodysociety.org by the deadline. If the file size is too large, please contact us and we will supply a dropbox link. In addition to your image, please also include the following information as part of your submission:
