The International Metallographic Contest (IMC), an annual event cosponsored by IMS and ASM
International to advance the science of microstructural analysis, just got more enticing. Updates to the
rules recently approved by the IMS Board are designed to encourage participation and to simplify the
process for participants to submit entries. There are now five different classes of competition—down
from 11 classes—covering all fields of optical and electron microscopy:
Class 1: Optical Microscopy—All Materials
Class 2: Electron Microscopy—All Materials
Class 3: Student Entries—All Materials (Undergraduate or Graduate Students Only)
Class 4: Artistic Microscopy (Color)—All Materials
Class 5: Artistic Microscopy (Black & White)—All Materials
All of the classes have increased prize money! Best-In-Show receives the most prestigious award
available in the field of metallography, the Jacquet-Lucas Award, which includes a cash prize of $3000.
For a complete description of the new rules, tips for creating a winning entry, and judging guide-
lines, visit . Deadline for entries is July 19.
IMC: Revised Rules, Fewer Classes, Larger Prize Money
