Here's the list of 2013 Winners

Announcing the 2014 International Metallographic Contest

Deadline for entries is July 19, 2014

The International Metallographic Contest and Exhibit is being held in conjunction with the Microscopy &Microanalysis 2014 meeting and the 47th Annual IMS Meeting in Hartford, CT, August 3-7, 2014. The contest featuresthe best work of metallographers and microstructural analysts from around the world. Entrants need not be members ofthe International Metallographic Society or ASM International.

PURPOSE

The primary goal of the contest is to advance the science of microstructural analysis by providing an opportunity forthose interested in material properties and characterization to display their work and communicate significant scientificinformation. There are five different classes of competition covering all fields of optical and electron microscopy. InClasses 1 through 3, multiple images and captions are expected to be used to describe how metallography was used tohelp solve a problem or to describe a unique or unusual technique. Classes 4 and 5 are for artistic pictures. The contestis open to all, including non-members.

Officers of IMS or ASM, class award sponsors and commercial exhibitors may enter in any class to compete for cashawards including best in show. If an entry submitted by officers of IMS or ASM, class award sponsors or commercialexhibitors receives a first place award in any class, the author is prohibited from entering the same class the followingyear.

AWARDS All monetary awards will be issued in U.S. dollars.

Best in Show, This award is endowed by Buehler and is open to Classes 1 and 2 only. The winner wiJacquet-Lucas Award consisting of a plaque, the Jacquet-Lucas Medal in Shadow Box, a hand lettered CalliCertificate and $3000.00.

First Place winners will receive $500 or the Jacquet-Lucas Award, but not both. Entries for these two classes areexpected to be submitted by experienced metallographers and metallurgists, although a group submitting an entry mayinclude student or novice technician participation.The DuBose-Crouse Award, based on unique, unusual, and new techniques in microscopy, is open to Classes 1, 2, and3. The winner receives prize money associated with 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place and the DuBose-Crouse plaque.

The George L. Kehl Award is a prestigious award, recognizing outstanding achievement by a student. The First Placestudent winners in Class 3 will receive $1,000 (shared if two or more contributors on the winning entry) and the GeorgeL. Kehl Plaque. The Second Place winners will receive $200. Third Place winners will receive $100. A certificate ofappreciation will be awarded for Honorable Mention. Undergraduate or graduate students may submit entries. Theposter should exhibit skill and knowledge of metallographic techniques and application of microscopy. The work neednot be complete but should define ultimate goals and demonstrate progress towards these goals. It is expected thatentries submitted for Class 3 will be guided by a department professor or advisor. Graduate and undergraduate studentsshould acquire a letter of confirmation from their advisors, stating that the entry was completed by the student(s)themselves with minimal assistance after the entry outline was established.

Prize money, plaques and certificates will be sent to the primary investigator (first author listed), except in the case ofthe Jacquet-Lucas Award, which will be divided equally among the authors.

A FIRST PRIZE will be awarded in each Class, unless minimum standards are not met. If a firstPrize is awarded; second and third prizes may be awarded, depending on judges’ discretion. If a firstPrize is NOT awarded, Honorable Mention certificates may be awarded. Honorable Mention certificate(s) may beawarded in lieu of, or in addition to second and third place entries. Entries are prominently displayed at the annualM&M Conference following judging and again in the fall at the annual ASM Event. Winning entries will also bedisplayed at ASM headquarters.
