Show us the beauty of your specialty! Enter the LMP art competition
The Art Competition 2024 is now closed
Try again next spring!
Do you see beauty in the work you do? Can you create art from it and inspire others? Can you showcase what you love about your field in a creative way?
This year we’re changing the LMP Art Competition. It is no longer limited to what you see under the microscope - now you can release your creativity!
There are separate categories to enable different specialties to showcase what they can do. One entry per person (see the rules below).
We can’t wait to see your entries – good luck!
Email lmp.communications@utoronto.ca if you have any questions.
The categories and prizes
You can choose which category your work falls into.
Each category will have one winner who will receive a printed copy of their work and a $100 gift card.
Winning images will be showcased in our art show at the Annual Celebration of Excellence on June 13, 2024.
The categories
- Artificial Intelligence
- Biochemistry
- Genetics
- Microbiology
- Pathology
- Research
