Three photographers have captured winning shots in Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory\u2019s 2025 Photowalk competition. These photographers will move on to the international Photowalk, with their images competing with photos from laboratories around the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The winning photos, in alphabetical order by photographer, are \u201cThe Underside of Quantum Computing\u201d by Mark Kaletka of Batavia, Illinois, \u201cSSR1\u201d by Krsto Sitar of Lombard, Illinois, and \u201cQUANTUM COMPUTING\u201d by Perry Slade of Aurora, Illinois.<\/p>\n

A panel of four Fermilab judges reviewed 63 photos submitted by 21 photographers. They selected three winning images that represented the science and spirit of America\u2019s premier particle physics and accelerator laboratory.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, July 26, 2025, two dozen photographers visited Fermilab from across the United States; two even came from Europe. Guided by scientists and staff, the photographers received exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours of areas and experiments that are typically not accessible to the public: the Quantum Garage<\/a> at the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center, the Muon g-2<\/a> experiment hall, the Short Baseline Near Detector<\/a> (SBND), the Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology\/Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (FAST\/IOTA<\/a>) facility and the Industrial Center Building.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to participate in the 2025 Fermilab Photowalk. Photography\u2019s my way of showing how I see the world and this recognition inspires me to keep creating,\u201d said winning photographer Perry Slade from Aurora, Illinois.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very familiar with Fermilab, so I especially enjoy seeing it revealed through new perspectives \u2014 an unusual angle, the play of light or a close-up detail that transforms the familiar,\u201d says Georgia Schwender, visual arts coordinator at Fermilab. \u201cWhat intrigues me most is the sheer range of possibilities; every photographer brings their own way of seeing, reminding us that even the most well-known places can surprise us when viewed through a fresh lens. Serving as a judge for this contest was an honor, and it gave me the chance to experience Fermilab through the creativity and vision of others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaletka\u2019s, Sitar\u2019s and Slade\u2019s winning photos will now advance to the worldwide\u00a0Global Physics Photowalk competition<\/a>. A shortlist of global finalists will be announced by the\u00a0Interactions Collaboration\u00a0in September, followed by a final selection through a jury and public vote. The winners of the international competition will be featured in a future issue of the\u00a0CERN Courier<\/a>\u00a0and in\u00a0Symmetry magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Fermilab Photowalk<\/a> is part of the global event organized by the\u00a0Interactions Collaboration<\/a>, an international group of science communicators dedicated to telling stories about particle physics research and achievements. Fermilab has taken part in previous Photowalks organized by Interactions, and this year is one of 16 participating particle physics laboratories on three continents. Winners from the local contests advance to the international Photowalk competition, where the final winners will be chosen later this fall.<\/p>\n

Fermilab will display a\u00a0selection\u00a0of photos from the Photowalk in Wilson Hall\u2019s second-floor Art Gallery in September.\u00a0A reception for will be hosted from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 5 at the Fermilab Art Gallery. No registration is required for this event.\u00a0Wilson Hall is\u00a0open to visitors<\/a>\u00a0on Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. All visitors age 18 and older must present a Real ID-compliant form of identification to enter.<\/p>\n
