University of Saskatchewan students, faculty, staff, and alumni have been busy snapping pictures of what research looks like from their side of the lab bench, dig site, and desktop. More than 70 images have been submitted to the Images of Research competition. 15 have been selected as the official winners. They cover everything from subjects such as the changing climate, food, and water security, to understanding the nature of the world around us.

The grand prize was awarded to Mark Lepitzki, master’s student in geological sciences, for Stew-pendous views; his star-filled image of doing field work in Northern Ontario.

This was the seventh edition of the annual photography and imaging competition. The online platform pages were viewed nearly 14,000 times, and visitors from across Canada and around the world cast a total of 1,579 votes for their favourite images.

The submissions from seven colleges, one school, one global institute, and one administrative unit were judged by juries composed of students, faculty, staff, and community members to crown winners in five categories, as well as for overall Best Description, and Grand Prize.
