2021 International Metallographic Contest (IMC) and Exhibit
© ASM International 2020
Deadline for Entry Receipt: September 3, 2021 The International Metallographic Contest and Exhibit is being held in conjunction with the 2021 International Materials, Applications, and Technologies (IMAT) Conference & Exhibition in St. Louis, Missouri, September 13–16, 2021. The contest features the best work of metallographers and microstructural analysts from around the world. Entrants need not be members of the International Metallographic Society (IMS) or ASM International, and are not required to attend the IMAT Conference.
Purpose The primary goal of the contest is to advance the science of microstructural analysis by providing an opportunity for those interested in material properties and characterization to display their work and communicate significant scientific information. There are five different classes of competition covering all fields of optical and electron microscopy. In Classes 1 through 3, multiple images and captions in a poster format are expected to be used to describe how microscopy was used to help characterize a material or process, solve a problem, or to describe a unique or unusual microscopy/ metallographic technique. Classes 4 and 5 are for artistic images of interesting or unique microstructure and surface morphologies. The contest is open to all interested individuals and groups. IMS or ASM membership, or 2021 IMAT Conference & Exhibition attendance is not required to enter the IMC. IMS or ASM officers, IMC award sponsors, and commercial exhibitors may enter in any class to compete for cash awards including Best in Show. If an entry submitted by IMS or ASM officers, IMC award sponsors, or a commercial exhibitors receives a first place award in any class, then the submitter is prohibited from entering the same class the following year.
Entries are prominently displayed at the IMAT Conference following judging. In addition, selected winning entries may be displayed at ASM Headquarters and/or featured in ASM publications and electronic media.
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 will receive the Jacquet-Lucas Award consisting of the Jacquet-Lucas Medal in a shadow box, a hand-lettered calligraphy certificate, and a total of $3000. The Jacquet-Lucas award does not also receive the first place prize money in their class. The DuBose-Crouse Award is based on unique, unusual, and new techniques in microscopy, which is open to Classes 1, 2, and 3. The winner receives prize money associated with first, second, or third place, and the DuBose-Crouse plaque. The George L. Kehl Award is a prestigious award, recognizing outstanding achievement by an undergraduate student. The first place student winners in Class 3 will receive $1000 (shared if two or more contributors on the winning entry) and the George L. Kehl Plaque. First place winners in each class receive $500, with the exception
