Look at examples on the site for the general style. Keep your entries quite informal and avoid jargon and difficult specialist language.
Places
Living in Greater Manchester, we can see 'places' as we go about our daily lives. There is a historical aspect to this section to show how science and technology have shaped Greater Manchester.
Where science is done
A section to feature centres of scientific research and development in the Greater Manchester area.
People
This section features people who do their science in Greater Manchester or use science in the service of Greater Manchester and its people today.
Events
This section features popular 'events' for the poeple of Greater Manchester about science in Greater Manchester. For one-off events please enter a start date and an end date. These are the same if the event is over in one day. We can also put in links to whole programmes of events, then we do not need any dates.
Area covered by the site
Most entries have a Greater Manchester post code in the area covered by the 10 Greater Manchester boroughs. However this is not a rigid rule and any item with a Greater Manchester connection can be accepted.
Audience
Entries should be written to be understood by members of the general public. Our audience includes learners of all ages, teachers and members of the public.
Images
Please let us have a digital image suitable for e-mailing or a web site. Click where shown and attach one or more images to the e-mail. Alternatively let us know of an image on a web site that you can give us permission to copy and use.
If you have no access to a digital camera, then photographic processing stores can now supply a CD with suitable images when you get your films developed. Scanning prints can also give good results.
The site can accept photographs in most standard formats (JPG, BMP, Pict).
If you cannot provide a digital image, please send prints of photographs to Greater Manchester City of Science, SETPOINT Greater Manchester, at The University of Salford, Irwell Valley Campus, Blanford Road, Salford M6 6BD. We will return them if you include an addressed envelope
