SA SCIENCE LENS
2008

The SA Science Lens is a unique competition in South Africa that encourages amateur and professional photographers to enter images that give insight into the world of science and technology and the working of nature. The ‘SA Science Lens’ exhibition displays the winning images from this year’s competition. The competition categories were Science in action, Science close-up, Science as art, On my plate (about the food we eat), and I see science and technology (submissions entered by learners). 

Dr Simon van Noort, Curator of Entomology at Iziko, won this year’s ‘Science close-up’ category and was the overall winner of this year’s competition.

The SA Science Lens competition is organized by the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (SAASTA), a business unit of the National Research Foundation (NRF).
