Explore the beauty of scientific discovery through the Art of Science contest, where research meets creativity. UC San Diego students, faculty, and researchers are invited to submit original works rooted in their scientific endeavors. These pieces go beyond visuals, offering a glimpse into the awe and wonder of science. Submit your entry by April 25, 2025!
Who Can Participate?
- Undergraduates: Your submission can be based on research conducted during your coursework, in a laboratory, or as part of a formal research project.
- Graduate Students, Postdocs, Faculty and Project Scientists: Your submission should showcase original research outputs from work conducted at or affiliated with UC San Diego.
Prizes and Recognition
In addition to the recognition of having your work celebrated in the intersection between science and art, cash prizes are up for grabs. Each winning image in the four participant categories (undergraduate, graduate, postdoc and faculty) will receive a cash prize of $75. Additionally, there’s an open voting category where the winning image is chosen by members of our Triton community and the public.
Beyond Prizes
Beyond the cash rewards, the winning images will receive the spotlight they deserve. They will be displayed in the Exhibition Gallery at Geisel Library in Fall 2025.
Don’t miss this chance to bring your research to life through art. Submit your entries, and let’s celebrate the Art of Science together!
