The Royal Society of Biology runs a number of competitions for school students as well as a photography competition for biology enthusiasts.  

We also run a range of awards.
 

 
Photography Competition
An annual biology photography competition which invites amateurs to submit photographs on a particular theme. Each year, the competition's judges look for an original interpretation of this theme. Participants can enter in one of two categories: Photographer of the Year (18 and over) with a £1000 top prize, or Young Photographer of the Year (under 18) with a £500 top prize. 

The Photography Competition theme in 2024 is Transforming Life.

BioArtAttack (2D)

A new drawing and painting competition for children aged 7-18 years old to draw or paint their favourite animal, plant or fungi. The Nancy Rothwell Prize is now a sub-category for specimen drawings entered into this competition.

The competition is run in collaboration with the Royal Veterinary College and open to entries worldwide.
