If you’re feeling particularly creative, you still have a few more days to submit entries in 23andMe’s first “Genetics Image Contest.”
Get your entries in before Monday night and get a chance to have your image showcased in the Genetics Gallery at The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, California. We recently expanded who is eligible to enter allowing all US residents who are 18 or older to enter. The contest isn’t just for students anymore. We’re looking for unique images that capture the meaning of a few genetic terms – DNA, chromosome, gene, allele, heredity, and inheritance pattern.
To enter, submit up to three original images, which capture the meaning of at least one of those terms. These images can either be photographs or images you’ve drawn, painted or created with computer software.
Images will be evaluated based on originality, visual impact, and the written description. The contest is already shaping up with some fantastic entries. Check out a few of the more recent submissions and get inspired.
