2026 Gill Symposium & Awards
Gill Institute Image Awards
History of the awards
Similarly to the Graduate Awards beginning in 2011, the Gill Institute also began giving awards to the most outstanding neuroscience image. Each year, faculty, research scientists, and students from IUB, IUI, University of Notre Dame, and Purdue are invited to submit their best images; they are voted on by members of the Gill Steering Committee.
Awardee Prizes
"What do I win?" The winner of the competition, judged by a panel of Gill Chairs and Steering Committee members, will receive a $100 cash prize, a plaque to commemorate your win - and, perhaps the most prestigious honor - your image will be featured on the next year's Gill Symposium T-Shirts!Award-Winning Images:
