LUNA™ Love Photo Contest

How to Enter

To enter the LUNA™ Love Photo Contest follow these easy steps:
1. Take a photo displaying your LUNA™ automated cell counter by Logos Biosystems with one or more lab members displaying their ‘LUNA™ Love’ by forming a heart shape with both hands.
2. Examples of ‘heart hands’ depicted in the illustration below for a single heart. However, if more than one person is included, a heart shape can be made using several hands to form one, large heart. However, if more than one lab member is included in the photo, it’s only necessary for one person to create the heart shape with their hands.
3. Simply upload your photo (or photos) and email to lunalove@logosbio.com
LUNA™ family cell counters include the LUNA-II™, LUNA-II™ YF, LUNA-FL™, LUNA-STEM™, and the LUNA-FX7™

• It is not necessary to designate a specific category for the contest entry. However, all entrants can designate a particular category if they elect.

The photo receiving the highest number of votes (in each category) will be deemed the winner of that category. The photo receiving the next highest number of votes (collectively) will win the Honorable Mention award. After category winners have been chosen, another round of voting will be conducted to choose a grand prize winner.
