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 Curtin University\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
