A close-up, underwater view of jellyfish, a lone kitesurfer silhouetted on Cottesloe Beach and an early morning glimpse of station life captured the attention of judges, when the winners of Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s National Science Week photography competition were announced this week.<\/p>\n
The panel of academic judges had their work cut out deciding on winners, with 532 entries across the four categories of \u201cearth\u201d, \u201cfire\u201d, \u201cwater\u201d and \u201cair\u201d and a fifth award for the best under-18 entrant.<\/p>\n
There was also a prize for the entry most voted for at Curtin\u2019s Science Week website.<\/p>\n
The eventual winners were:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Earth: \u201cStation Life\u201d by Harriet Swale \u2013 The earth that sustains our living, dawn till dusk.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Fire: \u201cGlowing Body\u201d by Carisse Antonas \u2013 Hot glowing body of ignited gas. The fire made an interesting shape when it touched the cold air.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Water: \u201cBubble Jellyfish\u201d by Kate Greenfeld \u2013 These are the bubbles of my buddy diver:) I love how the bubbles grow as they ascend to the surface. From the gloomy depths they rise towards the sun.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Air: \u201cKitesurfer\u201d by Roman Trubka \u2013 Kitesurfer on Cottesloe Beach.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Under-18: \u201cSparkler fun.\u201d by Lauren Galati \u2013 Photograph of a sparkler over a few seconds.<\/p>\n
\u2022 People\u2019s Choice Award: \u201cBusselton Jetty\u201d by Desmond Hong Wei Wong \u2013 The longest Jetty in Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were delighted by both the number and the quality of the entries,\u201d judge and School of Science senior research fellow Chandra Salgado Kent said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe entries showed great creativity and also a willingness to explore the science behind earth, fire, water and air and how those elements interact with everyday life.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was tough job choosing the winners but ultimately we were able to come up with five photographs which were stunning to look at and also demonstrated a definite interaction with science.\u201d<\/p>\n
