The Art of Science Competition is a campus wide event to celebrate the aesthetic beauty of science. Last year we received nearly 100 submissions representing more than 40 departments across the university, encompassing the schools of Medicine, Humanities and Sciences, Sustainability, and Engineering. Join us to celebrate the 14th Art of Science this year!

An exhibition showcasing the best submissions will take place in Spring Quarter, opening on May 16th from 4 - 7 pm in the Huang Foyer. The deadline for submissions is Friday, April 18th at 11:59 pm. We will award monetary prizes to the best submissions as determined by an independent panel of judges as well as a popular vote.

Submission guidelines:

All members of the Stanford community are invited to submit, and multiple submissions are allowed. Alumni are also allowed to submit. The focus of this competition is art, and thus the aesthetic rather than scientific quality of the image is key. Creativity and uniqueness will be considered favorably. Images produced in the process of performing research, such as photographs, micrographs, and simulation results, as well as art inspired by science, are gladly accepted. Lastly, think outside the box - every year we receive amazing paintings, mixed media and audio/visual works. All submissions should be made through the link above.
