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!
Image Submissions
The deadline for image submissions is September 1, 2025, but plan ahead! Don't wait to send us your images - you can upload them today! You are allowed to submit up to 3 image entries (must be submitted separately). Keep our award in your mind as you conduct your imaging; you never know when you'll capture an excellent image.Award-Winning Images:
