Life-Sci Visions Competition
What's your vision of life science? This 2007 Nexxus "Art meets Science" competition invited adults (life scientists, artists and the general public) and Primary 7 City of Glasgow schoolchildren to submit their personal vision of life science in the West of Scotland for the chance to win a prize and have their winning entry featured in the Nexxus 2008 calendar. Requirements were as follows :-

- Medium - any medium was acceptable eg photography; digital/computerised images; pen and ink; charcoal; paints - watercolour, oil, poster; crayon; coloured pencil; collage; embroidery etc.
- Subject matter - anything was acceptable but the image had to be a personal vision of life science or what the term "life science" made the entrant think of.
