• Social perspectives – explore how health and illness affect the way we live
• Hidden worlds – reveal details hidden to the naked eye
• Medicine in focus – show health and healthcare up close and personal
• Outbreaks (2019 theme) – capture the impact of disease as it spreads
Prizes: The winner of each category will receive£1,250, with the overall winner receiving a prize of £15,000.
The competition is free to enter.
