Art of Research Competition

 

We are excited to announce that the Art of Research competition deadline has been extended to Wednesday, March 6! So, don’t miss your opportunity to display your research at the Buffalo Museum of Science and compete for prize money!

This competition provides a unique opportunity for you (or your research team if a group submission) to convey your work through the images you capture, making complex concepts more accessible and engaging to a broader audience. This competition is open to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from all disciplines, and we encourage submissions that embrace a variety of artistic mediums. Submissions may include photographs, illustrations, visualizations, renderings, and anything produced while performing research in any discipline.

Compete for prize money, discuss your research with others, and get recognized at a celebratory event on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, from 6-8 p.m., at the Buffalo Museum of Science, where winners will be announced, and your photo will be displayed.

Submit your entry today!

For more information, visit the Art of Research competition webpage. The deadline to submit is Wednesday, March 6, at 5 p.m.
