The contest will take place from the 15th of July through the 30th of September 2018.

Rules

Contest works are accepted from the 15th of July through the 30th of September 2018. For uploading, one must have a registered Wikimedia Commons account showing a valid email address, for us to be able to contact the contest participant in case of his or her victory!	The contest is conducted in five nominations: «People in Science», «Microscopy images», «Non-photographic media», «Image sets» and «General category». Three winners will be selected in each of these, thus the jury will identify fifteen winning illustrations. Each of these winners will receive monetary prize of 10 000 rubles.	All works must be uploaded under the free license. Possible license types are CC-BY-SA 4.0, CC-BY 4.0, CC0 1.0, and others.
Images, uploaded in the framework of the contest, must be taken or created by the uploading author. In case of multiple authors, names of all co-authors must be shown. If uploading is done on behalf of the organization, it must be done by an authorized representative thereof.	All images must contain good and detailed description in Russian and – very desirable – in English. This is important, as it's exactly the description that very much makes the image scientific!	Try to upload images in maximum resolution available, except for cases of technological limitation thereof. Images should not contain any watermarks or logos.
