The winning image or video is judged to be most beautiful according to the committee's subjective sense of aesthetics.
Emphasis is given to the visual appeal of the image or video rather than the impact of the underlying science.
Ideally the winning image or video will summarise the complexity of the underlying science for the uninitiated scientist ("a picture tells a thousand words").
