WCGS SCIENCE PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION
Use your imagination to capture colour in science, whether it’s the blue of a flask of copper sulphate solution, brilliant white of snow on a winter’s morning or the spectrum of oil on the surface of a puddle.
Colour in the world around us is the product of physical processes, natural or artificial. There is often a reason why something is the colour it is - maybe it is due to white light refracting through a rain drop, or it is a flower's way of attracting a pollinator. Or maybe it is a colour intended to stimulate a reaction in a person.
We want you to look at colour in the world around you, whether it is a natural or synthetic colour, and ask yourself why it is that colour, what that colour represents.
