Nanoartography

NanoArtography is an international science image contest that combines nanoscience and art. The contest is open to everyone. NanoArtography was created and is organized by Prof. Babak Anasori.

Every year the competition has garnered hundreds of submissions, and researchers from over 20 different countries submitted images of their research to illustrate what they are studying and showcase its beauty.

 

The annual submission deadline is September 30, and the winners are announced in November of that year. To learn about the rules and dates of the NanoArtography Contest, go to the rules page. 

 

Prizes and judging: 

The winners will be awarded cash prizes in U.S. dollars. There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place awards and four People’s Choice awards:

 

1st Place: $1,000

2nd Place: $300

3rd Place: $100

People’s Choice: $500

Drexel People's Choice: $100

Purdue Materials People's Choice: $100

BircK Nano Center People's Choice: $100

 

 

1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place will be awarded based on the Judge’s choice. NanoArtography submissions are judged by a panel of experts with science, engineering, and art backgrounds. The judging will be done anonymously prior to the People's Choice posts on the NanoArtography Instagram page. Names or affiliations of the authors will not be shared with the judges until the People's Choice Instagram post.

 

People’s Choice will be selected as the image with the highest number of Likes on the competition's Instagram page. The NanoArtography committee reserves the right to make the final decision for the People’s Choice Award.

​

NanoArtography was created by Dr. Anasori at the A. J. Drexel Nanomaterials Institute in 2016 and expanded to Purdue University in 2019. Nanoartography is organized by Dr. Anasori and the Anasori Lab at Purdue University.
