The Brain-Art Competition [/b]

http://www.neurobureau.org/BrainArt/

Submission Deadline: 11:59PM CDT, Sunday, June 5th, 2011

Award Notification: June
28th, 9PM at the Cirque du Cerveau Gala (during the OHBM Annual Meeting), Musée
National des Beaux-Arts du Québec.

In order to recognize the beauty and creativity of artistic
renderings emerging from the neuroimaging community, we are launching the first
annual Brain-Art Competition.[/b]

Countless hours are devoted to the creation of informative
visualizations for communicating neuroscientific findings. The Brain-Art Competition
aims to recognize this often unappreciated aspect of the publication process,
and highlight the artistic creativity of our community.

We are inviting researchers to submit their favorite unpublished
works for entry. Both team and single-person entries are welcomed. The
competition will have four award categories:

1)         
Best
3-Dimensional Brain Rendering

2)         
Best
Representation of the Human Connectome

3)         
Best
Abstract Brain Illustration

4)         
Best
Comical Brain Illustration

Additionally, we will have a Best Hand-Drawing of the Brain
“door-prize” competition beginning at 8pm at the Cirque du Cerveau Gala
to be held on June 28th at the 2011 OHBM Annual Meeting in Quebec City.
Materials for hand-drawing will be provided at time of entry to gala. A digital gallery containing
submissions will be made available prior to the gala.

Sincerely,

Daniel Margulies, Cameron Craddock & The Neuro Bureau
