Calling all student members attending the 5th Combined Australian and New Zealand Entomological Societies Conference. The AES Board will be offering individual grants to student members aiming to attend the conference, reimbursing successful applicants for the cost of travel or registration at the conference, subject to provision of receipts.

Student members involved in AES committee activities may also apply.
More information to follow, so watch this space!
We are pleased to advise the AES Photographic Competition will be run again in conjunction with the conference. The Society’s Photographic Competition aims to encourage and recognise high standards of entomological photography and the communication of science through various mediums. This year we are asking for submissions in three categories:
- Photography (SLR or other camera types)
- Smart phone photographs
- Open category: digital artwork, illustration, sculpture, painting or any other media. This will need to be transported by you and displayed at the venue (so the artwork can’t be the size of Ouroboros!).
We will award one prize in each category.
Who is Eligible?
The competition will be open to members of the Society who are not employed or contracted as professional photographers, artists, or creatives for fee or reward.
