A careful approach to selecting appropriate photos and images will create a unique, dynamic image for the U.S. Department of Energy AlgaePrize.
AlgaePrize Photographic Style and Guidelines
Develop your own photos and images based on the following criteria:
- Showcase both microalgae and macroalgae in a variety of settings (e.g., the natural environment, the laboratory, under the microscope, etc.).
- Capture genuine moments with people in actual events or campus settings.
- Focus on moments of connection among students, judges, the public, and others.
- Use real student competitors and teams.
- Ensure that photos are visually or intellectually dynamic.
- Ensure students are wearing appropriate safety protective equipment when working in a laboratory setting.
Note: Photos should avoid implied endorsements. Except for photos of AlgaePrize events and event elements that include AlgaePrize sponsors’ logos, do not use photos that include clearly visible logos or branding of companies or their products.
