competition Deadline 31 August 2016 The Royal Society of Biology is blending art and science with its 2016 annual amateur photography competition. This year’s theme is ‘Biology: From Big To Small’, and budding photographers are being encouraged to think creatively about the natural world. Entries could look at nature on a grand scale – capturing large areas of natural beauty – or focus on smaller, more intimate aspects of wildlife, like tiny organisms living within an ecosystem. There are two categories for entry (adult and under 18) with a tempting cash prize for each. For more details, visit
