This is the beginning of what may be a new annual competition for the Wilson College of Textiles. To demonstrate the research of our students, the<\/span> Textile Association of Graduate Students (TAGS)<\/a> developed a contest that will share submitted images with hundreds of individuals. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n From images not visible to the human eye to breathtaking sights, there is much to offer in the presentation of the Textiles Research Image Contest. To get a better understanding of the innovation behind this, we’ve reached out to TAGS president, Mostakima Lubna, who also happens to be one of the winners of the image contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who came up with the idea? <\/b> <\/strong> Who was involved in the planning?<\/b> …to promote the beauty and significance of multidisciplinary research of Wilson College through images…<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n How did the competition work?<\/b> Total submission = 36.

TAGS.<\/span> Inspired by the NC State Research Image Contest <\/span>Envisioning Research<\/span><\/a>, TAGS plans to promote the beauty and significance of multidisciplinary research of Wilson College through images; this is the first Textiles Research Image Contest.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Textiles Research Image Contest is a part of the Textiles Research Open House<\/a><\/span>. With the prior permission of the Research Open House committee and Associate Dean for Research Dr. Xiangwu Zhang<\/a>, TAGS announced the contest. This was open to all undergraduate, graduate and postdocs of the Wilson College. TAGS also showcased the winning images at the reception for Techtextil North America 2019<\/a>. All nine winners (three per category) received free admission to the conference. Cash prizes for the winners were given during the Textiles Research Open House 2019 on April 5.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Images were submitted in three categories: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
**Transmission Electron Microscopy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Images were judged <\/span>anonymously<\/em> (the name of the student or supervisor was not revealed to the judges) by six Wilson College professors who had no student participating in the image contest to avoid conflict of interest. Three winners in each category were chosen based on the average highest marks given by the judges.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nWinners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
