Title: The Debutantes' Ball --- 1995 Most Bizarre Micrograph Winner

 Back by popular demand! The EIPBN Bizarre and Beautiful MicroGraph Contest. Awards are given in 6 categories. The winning micrographs will published in the conference Web Pages.

 General Information

 The fields of research covered by this conference have been at the forefront of the drive to develope technology to make smaller and smaller structures. We have ventured into size regimes where we are often dependent on microscopes and the skill of microscopists to see the results of our work (and often what went wrong). To highlight the importance of micrographs to the field, the conference is holding a micrograph contest . The entries will be judged both from the technological and artistic standpoint.

A panel of judges will disqualify any entry that it believes has not conformed to the rules and will select the winners. Awards will be announced at the Thursday Night Banquet. There are six categories:

• Grand Prize
• Most Bizarre
• Best Electron Micrograph
• Best Ion Micrograph
• Best Photon Micrograph
• Best Scanning Probe Micrograph

Please note that we are joining the 21st Century and changing the way that Micrographs are submitted.

No more micrographs on plastic.

ALL ENTRIES MUST BE IN ELECTRONIC FORM.

There are now 4 simple steps to fame and fortune:
