The prize has been awarded in the course of the initiative nano4women, which aims at increasing the share of female scientists in Nanotechnologies. Eligible were students, doctorates, post docs and junior scientists (up to dissertation) at universities, research institutes and other schools in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other European countries. Each participant had the possibility to submit up to two pieces of work.
The following alternative subjects were proposed:
Subject 1: „Relations“
Subject 2: „Body“
Prizes were awarded for the 20 most impressive microscope images received at the University of Paderborn, for the attention of Prof. Dr. Ralf Wehrspohn, before 31.12.2005.
The first prize, 1,000 Euro, was sponsored by Degussa AG and awarded to Cornelia Schurr by Dr. Meissner, Degussa AG, during the award reception on 2nd February at the S2B-Center of Degussa AG at Marl. Alongside on the photograph: Professor Ralf Wehrspohn, initiator and general coordinator of the initiative "nano4women" and consequently also member of the jury.
Criteria for the award of the prices were artistic quality, independent visual language, the originality and creativity in the media specific realisation as well as the transformation of the subject. The description of the artwork of the winner and the comment about it: "scanning electron microscope image of carbon nanotubes, showing small impurities of carbon (colored blue)" The image has been taken during her dissertation supervised by Dr. Julie Nucci in the field of fiber-reinforced composite materials.
Artist and member of the jury Verena French, Munich, annotated: "Splendidly ordered whoopee of mites, you can imagine the kind of party going on in your pillows at night..."
